This Grade 3 worksheet focuses on Prepositions of Place and Movement, helping young learners understand how words like in, on, under, between, across, through, and behind show position and movement in sentences.
Designed for primary learners, the worksheet builds clarity by using everyday examples such as animals, classrooms, playgrounds, and daily activities that children can easily relate to.
Prepositions help children describe where things are and how they move. For Grade 3 learners, this topic is important because:
1. Prepositions explain position, direction, and movement clearly.
2. They help students form meaningful and accurate sentences.
3. They improve both spoken and written communication.
4. They are essential for describing real-life situations correctly.
This worksheet includes five carefully designed grammar activities that strengthen understanding of prepositions:
Exercise 1 – Fill in the Blanks
Students complete sentences using suitable prepositions from a word bank, focusing on place and movement.
Exercise 2 – True and False

Exercise 4 – Sentence Rewriting
