ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel TutoringHour What Is a Preposition? | List of Prepositions for Kids
Hello and welcome! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about prepositions while watching Alyssa play with her cool RC car. A preposition is a special word that helps us know where things are, how they move, or when something happens. These words are like little clues in a sentence that tell us more about the nouns (people, places, or things) or pronouns (like he, she, it) they are connected to.
Let’s look at some prepositions: “in,” “on,” “under,” “over,” “below,” “above,” and “between.” These words help us understand where something is. Ready to see them in action?
Alyssa runs to her room to play with her RC car. The remote control is in the box. The word “in” tells us where the remote is. Alyssa turns the car on and places it on the floor. The word “on” tells us where the car is.
She presses the “forward” button, and the car zooms under the bed. The word “under” tells us where the car goes. Isn’t it fun to see where the car travels?
Next, Alyssa presses the “reverse” button, and the car moves to the corner behind the door. It bangs against the wall and stops. Then, the car moves in front of the closet. She presses the “left” arrow, and the car finds a spot next to the trash bin. Another push, and the car goes between the couch and the lamp.
Alyssa holds the button, and the car goes around the lamp. She switches the car to “climb” mode and places it near the desk. Alyssa puts it right against the wall again. With a push, the car climbs up the wall.
With excitement, Alyssa moves the car below the painting. Before it hits the painting, she steers it, and the car races past the clock. It reaches the ceiling and then moves across the room.
Alyssa jumps for joy when the car is right above her head. The car glides over the window and lands on the floor. Just then, Mom calls her for dinner. Alyssa picks up the car, puts it back in the box, and heads to dinner.
Now it’s your turn to practice using prepositions! You can try finding things in your room and use prepositions to describe where they are. If you want to learn more, you can visit tutoringhour.com for more fun lessons. Thanks for joining us, and happy learning!
Preposition Treasure Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around your house! Ask a family member to hide a small toy or object somewhere in a room. Use prepositions to give clues about where the treasure is hidden. For example, “The treasure is under the table” or “It’s between the chair and the wall.” Take turns hiding and finding the treasure using prepositional clues.
Create a Preposition Story: Draw a picture of a room in your house or a place you like. Add different objects in the picture, like a toy, a book, or a pet. Write a short story about what happens in the picture using prepositions. For example, “The cat is on the chair. The ball rolls under the table.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the prepositions you used!
Preposition Walk: Take a walk outside with a family member or friend. As you walk, take turns pointing out things you see and use prepositions to describe them. For example, “The bird is flying over the tree” or “The dog is sitting next to the bench.” This activity will help you notice how prepositions describe the world around you.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hello and welcome to Tutoring Hour! In this video, we’ll watch Alyssa play with her RC car and explore a few prepositions. A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence. It’s a short word placed before a noun or a pronoun, and it’s used to show location, direction, time, and spatial relationships. It also helps introduce an object.
If you’re wondering what a preposition is, take a look at the words “in,” “on,” “under,” “over,” “below,” “above,” and “between,” all of which can be used before a noun to indicate where someone or something is. Let’s get started!
Alyssa runs to her room. The battery is still charging. It must be nearly full now, though. The remote is in the box. Where is the remote? In the box. The word “in” tells us where the remote is. She turns the car’s start button on and grabs the remote to set the car in motion. The car is now on the floor – all set to run. Where is the car? On the floor. The word “on” tells us where the car is.
Alyssa pushes the “forward” button. The car goes speeding under the bed. Where does the car go? The word “under” tells where the car goes. We’ll repeat the prepositions every time we use them. Won’t that be fun?
Alyssa presses the “reverse” button, and the car goes to the corner behind the door. Behind. It bangs against the wall and comes to a halt. Against. Alyssa presses the “forward” button, and the car is now in front of the closet. In front of. She presses the “left” arrow, and the car finds a place next to the trash bin. Next to. Another push at the “left” arrow, and the car goes between the couch and the lamp. Between.
Alyssa presses and holds the button so the car goes around the lamp. Around. She takes a look at the manual and switches the car to the “climb” mode. She then puts the car near the desk. Near. Alyssa places it right against the wall. That’s the second time we meet the preposition “against.” One push at the “forward” button, and the car climbs up the wall. Up.
With a whoop of joy, Alyssa moves the car right below the painting. Below. Before the car could hit the painting, she quickly steers the car. The car goes racing past the clock. She holds the button until it reaches the ceiling. She then moves the car across the room. Across.
Alyssa jumps for joy on seeing the car right above her head. Above. The car moves to the other end of the room, and then it glides over the window and reaches the floor. Over. Alyssa is startled when Mom calls her for dinner. She picks the car, puts it back in the box, and goes for dinner.
