This image is an educational activity designed to teach prepositions of place (e.g., *in, on, in front of, above, under, between, behind, next to*). The task is to identify
where the mouse and cat are in each picture using the correct preposition.
Let’s go through each row and describe the position of the
mouse and
cat in each scene:
---
🔹 Row 1:
1.
Cat on a ball of yarn
- Cat is
on the yarn.
2.
Mouse standing on cheese
- Mouse is
on the cheese.
3.
Cat sitting between two balls of yarn
- Cat is
between the yarns.
---
🔹 Row 2:
4.
Cat next to a ball of yarn
- Cat is
next to the yarn.
5.
Mouse sleeping on cheese
- Mouse is
on the cheese.
6.
Yarn on top of the cat
- Yarn is
on the cat → so cat is
under the yarn.
---
🔹 Row 3:
7.
Mouse peeking from behind cheese
- Mouse is
behind the cheese.
8.
Cat running in front of yarn
- Cat is
in front of the yarn.
9.
Mouse between two pieces of cheese
- Mouse is
between the cheeses.
---
🔹 Row 4:
10.
Mouse under a piece of cheese
- Mouse is
under the cheese.
11.
Mouse holding a piece of cheese
- Mouse is
in front of the cheese? Or perhaps
holding it — but since it's partially covering the cheese, we can say the mouse is
in front of or
on the cheese depending on interpretation. But more accurately: the mouse is
with the cheese, but if we use prepositions: the mouse is
in front of the cheese (since it's facing forward with cheese in hand).
Alternatively, the cheese is
on the mouse? Not really. Best:
Mouse is in front of the cheese.
12.
Cat lying next to a ball of yarn
- Cat is
next to the yarn.
