Writing Practice Activities
Printable preposition writing worksheets for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to trace, copy and use position words with simple pictures.
Practice that builds confidence
From picture talk to written words
These preposition writing practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children connect position words with what they see in a picture. Children practise words such as in, on, under, near, behind and between through tracing, copying and simple sentence work.
The printable worksheets include picture-based prompts, guided writing lines and short activities that build pencil control along with early grammar understanding. They are suitable for home revision, class practice, or extra support after oral preposition games.
Young children usually understand prepositions first through movement: the ball is under the chair, the pencil is on the table, the toy is in the box. These worksheets move that oral understanding into writing. A child looks at a clear picture, says the position word aloud, then traces or writes the word in the correct place.
What children practise
The focus is not long sentence writing. It is early written use of prepositions with neat letter formation, spacing and word recognition. Activities may ask children to trace a preposition, copy it on a line, choose the correct word for a picture, or complete a short phrase such as “cat on mat”. This keeps the task suitable for Nursery, LKG and UKG while still building grammar vocabulary.
A simple parent routine
At home, begin with a real object before opening the worksheet. Put a spoon in a cup, on a plate and under a napkin. Ask, “Where is the spoon?” Let your child answer orally, then point to the matching word on the page. Next, have the child trace slowly, saying each sound or letter name as appropriate. End by asking the child to draw one small object and tell you where it is.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these pages after a preposition rhyme, action game or picture discussion. They work well for writing corners, small-group reinforcement and quick revision when children confuse similar position words. The same worksheet can be extended orally: one child reads the preposition, another acts it out with a classroom object.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write the word correctly but choose the wrong position, especially for behind, between and under. Others focus only on copying and stop looking at the picture. Encourage them to touch the picture, say the full idea aloud, and then write. Also watch reversals in short words like in and on, and remind children to leave a small finger space when copying phrases.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What preposition words are suitable for Nursery, LKG and UKG writing practice?
Start with simple position words children can see and act out, such as in, on, under, near, beside, behind and between. The writing task should stay short and picture-supported.
Should my child memorise spellings of prepositions at this stage?
Meaning should come first. Let your child identify the position in a picture or with real objects, then trace and copy the word. Spelling familiarity will grow through repeated use.

Pause the writing and return to action. Place an object in the same position, ask your child to say the sentence aloud, then match it back to the worksheet picture.

Yes. They prepare children for sentence writing by helping them connect a picture, a spoken idea and a written position word, without the pressure of composing long sentences.
