One creative way to teach preposition

Stand up !
Sit down !

kadang-kadang kita tak  tahan dengan pelajar bising, lalu kita gunakan bahasa ala-ala askar nie kan
Then kita akan suruh pelajar tukar tempat, so mereka tak dapat bersembang dengan kawan.

Stand up and sit beside Ali !

-for example.

You! Take your book and sit beside Chua !
-another way.

See it ?

You! Take your book and sit beside Chua !


Tai Zen !
Stand up and sit behind Ming !

(Dia tak faham, tapi pergi sebelah Ming, so kita ulang)

Stand up and sit behind Ming !

Dia tak faham, tapi pergi sebelah Ming.

No, behind Ming !



James, pack your  things and sit in front of Janet.

James looks puzzled, (cause there are students sitting on Janet's both sides. He stands.

I said,

James, pack your things and sit in front of Janet.

He stands.

Sit in front of Janet !

He begins to figure out when I point at the empty seat in front of Janet.


It works for between as well.

James, pack your things and sit between Janet and Wani !

James looks puzzled, (cause there are students sitting beside Janet . He stands.

(Repeat same process)

For the noisiest :

James, pack your things and sit under ...

James looks puzzled

James, pack your things and sit under ...

.. under the desk !

James looks irritated, but the point is he follows and able to put things based on our instructions with preposition.
