• Above
• Between

⭐ Why These Winter Prepositions Activities Work

• Provide repeated exposure to target prepositions in meaningful contexts
• Use consistent visuals to reduce cognitive load and support learning
• Offer a mix of structured and play-based activities
• Support both single-word and phrase-level language development
• Make abstract spatial concepts more concrete and easier to understand

These prepositions activities are designed using evidence-informed principles to support effective early language learning.

⭐ Designed with Research in Mind

The visuals in this resource are intentionally consistent, with the snowman remaining the main subject. This helps children focus on learning the prepositions rather than processing new objects.

Research (Nicholas et al., 2019) suggests that too much variability can make learning prepositions more difficult. By keeping visuals consistent, these activities support more effective learning and generalisation.

⭐ Designed for Flexible Use

• Ideal for winter-themed speech therapy sessions
• Suitable for early intervention and preschool-aged children
• Easy to adapt for different ability levels
• Great for both therapy sessions and home practice

Use these winter prepositions activities to bring seasonal engagement into your sessions while building strong understanding of spatial concepts and early language skills.
