More Prepositions Please!

 

Preposition Pete is not enough for you?  With the Symbol Builder tool you can create your own adorable images. 

Create your own symbols using vocabulary or student interest. Then, create fun games and visuals to practice using the preposition. For example, check out these playing cards from the Sharing Center

The cards can be used in so many different ways:

  • Use the cards to teach the concept
  • Have the child choose the correct one from field of two or three
  • Have the child sort by same position
  • Print two copies and play “Go Fish”, “Old Maid”
  • Use for receptive and expressive multistep direction activities
  • Create larger images for the ones in the pictures and have the kids position them properly using ticky tac or Velcro

Making your own images is easy and fun!  You can find the Symbol Builder on tab at the top or on your "My LessonPix" page.

  1. An empty box will pop up
  2. To the left of the box you can search for an image and drag it to the blank box.
  3. Next find the image you want to reposition and drag it over. 
  4. You will need to resize the images keeping in mind that the whole box is the final "image". 
  5. Buttons beneath the box allow you to rotate, reverse duplicate and move images front or back within the new creation. 
  6. Once you have made your image, give it a title, add tags for searches, a description and save new image. 
  7. I recommend using the back arrow when you get to the re-color screen so you keep the same sizing of your images and don't need to start from scratch each time. 
  8. These images will be saved in your library as custom and can be shared on the shared site as long as no personal images/photos are included.
  9. FOR SOME ADDED FUN..search "stickers" while in the symbol builder.  This allows you to add ponytails, glasses, facial hair, potato head parts, etc to images as well.  It's SOOO much FUN!
