Sentences Practice Activities

Printable sentence activities for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to practise using prepositions such as in, on, under, near and behind.

Practice that builds confidence

What children practise

These Sentences practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children understand how position words make a sentence clearer. Children practise using simple prepositions such as in, on, under, near, behind, beside and between in short, familiar sentences.

The printable worksheets use picture prompts, sentence completion, matching, circling and tracing tasks. They are designed for early learners who may still need oral support while learning to connect a picture, a preposition and a complete sentence.

In the Nursery, LKG and UKG > Prepositions > Sentences section, children move from naming where an object is to saying it in a full sentence. Instead of only answering “under,” they learn patterns such as “The ball is under the table” or “The cat is on the mat.” This builds vocabulary, listening comprehension and early sentence sense.

How the activities progress

The worksheets usually begin with clear picture-based choices, where children identify the correct position word. They then complete short sentences, match sentences to pictures, trace missing words, or circle the sentence that describes the picture. The language stays simple so children can focus on meaning: object, place and position.

At-home practice routine

Parents can turn one worksheet into a quick talk-and-write routine. First, point to the picture and ask, “Where is it?” Let the child answer orally. Next, read the sentence aloud, pausing before the preposition. Finally, ask the child to trace, circle or fill the answer. Use real objects too: keep a spoon in a cup, on a plate and under a napkin, then say each sentence together.

Classroom uses

Teachers can use these printables after an action game, story discussion or classroom demonstration. They work well for small-group language practice, morning work, revision sheets or a preposition learning corner. For children who are not yet writing independently, the teacher can read the sentence while the child marks the correct picture or word.

Mistakes to watch and a simple strategy

Common errors include confusing on and in, using under for behind, or saying only the preposition without the full sentence. Encourage children to use the “thing-place-position” strategy: name the thing, name the place, then choose the position word. For example: “bird-tree-on” becomes “The bird is on the tree.”

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

What prepositions are practised in these sentence worksheets?

The worksheets focus on common early position words such as in, on, under, near, beside, behind and between, used inside short sentences.

Are these worksheets suitable for children who cannot write full sentences yet?

Yes. Many activities use circling, matching, tracing or filling one missing word, so children can practise sentence meaning without needing to write long answers.

How can I explain preposition sentences to an LKG child?

Use real objects and say the full sentence aloud: “The pencil is in the box” or “The toy is under the chair.” Then connect the same idea to the worksheet picture.

What is the difference between learning prepositions and preposition sentences?

Learning prepositions means recognising words like on or under. Preposition sentence practice helps children use those words in complete ideas, such as “The book is on the table.”

Can teachers use these pages for oral language practice?

Yes. Teachers can read each sentence aloud, ask children to describe the picture, and then let them mark or complete the answer on the printable sheet.
