For parents: what Where's the Puppy? practices

Where's the Puppy? teaches prepositions of place, the small words that tell where something is. Kids need them to follow directions and describe pictures. It pairs with:

• Prepositions
• Preposition worksheets
• Kindergarten

Common Core: L.K.1e (use the most frequently occurring prepositions), L.1.1i (use frequently occurring prepositions).

Getting the most out of it

• Act it out with a toy and a box.
• Say the whole sentence: The puppy is under the table.
• Ask your child to hide a toy and tell you where it is.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
