Prepositions Worksheet: Where Are the Cats?

How to use this worksheet

Look at the picture of the cat in a particular position and the list of preposition word choices together. Ask your child to describe where the cat is in their own words first, then compare that description to the word options given. Have them write the number matching the correct preposition in the circle next to the picture. Continue through each picture the same way, saying the full sentence aloud, like 'the cat is under the table,' once each answer is chosen.
