Figure out the name of the room and 2. They have to choose one item from the basket that’s from their room and show all 6 prepositions. If any students are SUPER advanced (as in my native English speaker) he will become my assistant and can go around helping students (ONLY using English, if he uses Spanish he has to sit down)

Present: In front of the class students show us the prepositions with their object (each student must be part of at least one preposition). The other students must guess what room they are and correctly say the preposition they are showing us.
