The game lets your students practise prepositional phrases by collecting sentence cards. Students need to come up with the right preposition missing from a sentence to get a card. The first person to collect all the cards required on their board, wins.
To make the game more fun, I've added many Wild Cards including: Joker cards, "See something you like? Take one of your opponent's cards", "Feeling generous? Give one of your cards to your opponent", and many more :)
The game can be played by both upper-primary and secondary students.

I've been an English teachers for over 15 years now and I love what I do. It took me many years to realise what age group I like working with the most: kids and pre-teens. It also took me some time to realise how much I dislike testing, grading and useless paperwork, in other words, all the things that stop me from doing what I am supposed to be doing: being with my students. There are two quotes from Maria Montessori that sum up exactly what I do and what I strive for: "The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." & "The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult." The moments I can drink coffee and just watch my students working away, not needing me, are my favourite. This is why I plan my lessons in a way that limits my involvement to the absolute minimum. This is also why I create materials which allow students to check and correct their own mistakes.
And for those of you who'd like to know: I studied Early Years Education with TEFL at Gdansk University for 3 years. After getting my Bachelor's degree, I went on to study English Philology for another 5 years, graduating with a Master's degree. The final mark on my diploma says "Excellent" 🙂 Recently, I have also completed a Montessori and autonomous language learning based training course for teachers of second languages at Montessori Stiftung Berlin. I'm also an AMI certified Montessori 6 -12 Assistant.
