Prepositions of place worksheet for kids to practice using "in," "on," "under," "in front of," and "behind."

Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll look at where each object or person is in relation to something else — using the words: in, on, under, in front of, or behind.

---

Example given:
*Where is the mouse?* → *It’s under the box.*
(We see a mouse below a cardboard box, so “under” is correct.)

---

1. Where is the man?
The man is standing on top of a green arrow pointing up. So he is on the arrow.

→ He is on the arrow.

---

2. Where is the frog?
The frog is sitting below a red arrow pointing down. That means it’s under the arrow.

→ It is under the arrow.

---

3. Where are the pumpkins?
There are two orange pumpkins next to a gray house. They’re not inside, not on top, not behind — they’re right in front of the house.

→ They are in front of the house.

---

4. Where is the cat?
The cat is peeking out from behind a yellow wall or door. You can only see part of it — that means it’s behind something.

→ It is behind the wall.

5. Where is the bus?
The bus has children around it — some in front, some behind, but the bus itself is surrounded by kids. The key is: the children are around the bus, meaning the bus is in the middle of them. But since we must use only the 5 prepositions, and the bus is clearly with children all around, the best fit is: The children are around the bus — but wait, the question is “Where is the bus?” Looking again: the bus is drawn with children in front and behind — actually, the bus is among them, but since “among” isn’t an option, let’s recheck.

Actually, looking closely: the bus is shown with children standing in front of it and behind it — but the bus itself is just there. Wait — maybe the intended answer is based on position relative to the group? Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the bus is in front of the school? No, no school shown.

Actually, rereading the image description (from your upload):
“5. Where is the bus?” — and the picture shows a red bus with children around it. In many such worksheets, if people are surrounding an object, sometimes the answer is “The bus is among the children” — but again, not in our list.

Wait — let me think differently. Maybe the bus is in front of the children? Or behind? Actually, in the drawing, the bus is central, and children are both in front and behind — so perhaps the question is trickier.

But hold on — maybe I misread. Let’s assume standard worksheet logic: if the bus is drawn with children mostly in front, then bus is behind them? Or vice versa?

Actually, looking at common versions of this worksheet:
In #5, the bus is usually depicted with children standing in front of it — so the bus is behind the children.

Yes — that makes sense. If you’re facing the bus, and kids are between you and the bus, then the bus is behind the kids.

→ It is behind the children.

*(Note: Some versions may vary, but based on typical layout, this is most logical.)*

6. Where are the eggs?
The eggs are inside a basket. So they are in the basket.

→ They are in the basket.

---

7. Where is the lamp?
The lamp is sitting on top of a small table. So it’s on the table.

→ It is on the table.

---

8. Where is the girl?
The girl is lying underneath a bed. Her legs are sticking out — so she’s under the bed.

→ She is under the bed.

---

9. Where is the mouse?
This is similar to the example, but now the mouse is next to a cheese wedge — and it looks like it’s hiding behind the cheese.

→ It is behind the cheese.

---

Final Answer:

1. He is on the arrow.
2. It is under the arrow.
3. They are in front of the house.
4. It is behind the wall.
5. It is behind the children.
6. They are in the basket.
7. It is on the table.
8. She is under the bed.
9. It is behind the cheese.
