Preposition Worksheet: Circle the Correct Position!
Children ages 3-5 practice identifying prepositions like 'in,' 'on,' and 'under' by looking at a picture and circling the word that correctly describes where an object is positioned. This builds early spatial vocabulary that children use constantly in everyday communication, from describing where a toy is to following directions.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture together and talk about where the object is positioned in relation to something else, like a ball under a table or a cat on a chair. Read the preposition choices aloud and have your child circle the one that correctly matches what's shown in the picture. Continue through each remaining picture, encouraging your child to point at the picture and say the full descriptive phrase, like 'the ball is under the table,' before moving on.
