Turn position words (in, on, under, behind, between) into playful treasure hunts at home. Narrate where toys are, use real routines like bath and tidy-up, model first then ask, and keep sessions short and joyful — 5–10 minutes daily builds language naturally.

*Sometimes the biggest leaps in your child's language happen not at a desk, but during a giggly hunt for a teddy hiding *under* the table.*

## In short
Preposition Adventure is a playful way to teach little position words — *in, on, under, behind, next to, between* — by turning everyday play into a treasure hunt. You narrate where things are and gently invite your child to follow, then describe, location-based instructions. Aim for short, joyful bursts of 5–10 minutes woven into daily routines, and follow your child's lead.

## How to play at home
**Start with a favourite toy**
- Hide a teddy and say, "Teddy is *under* the chair!" Let your child find it, then say it together.
- Move it: "Now teddy is *on* the bed." Stress the position word warmly and clearly.

**Use your body and real objects**
- "Put the spoon *in* the cup." "Sit *next to* me." Cooking, bath-time and tidy-up are full of natural prepositions.
- Obstacle play is brilliant — crawl *under* a blanket, climb *on* the cushion, hide *behind* the door.

**Build it up step by step**
- Begin with one or two words (*in*, *on*) before adding harder ones (*between*, *behind*).
- Model first, then ask: "Where is the ball?" Celebrate every attempt, even a gesture or a single word.
- Add picture books and ask, "What is *on* the table?" to take the game off the floor and onto the page.

**Keep it light**
If your child is tired or frustrated, pause and return later. Repetition across the week matters more than getting it perfect in one sitting. Learn more about the activity at [Preposition Adventure](/preposition-adventure).
