Prepositional Phrases Worksheet, Underline and Fill In
Two exercises, one page: this prepositional phrases worksheet moves students from recognizing phrases to writing their own, with just enough scaffolding to keep things moving.
Bright blue and green headers divide the page into two clean sections, with a definition box at the top explaining what a prepositional phrase is and showing two labeled examples. A small clipart dog sits in the corner near the title, and a tree with a bird grounds the fill-in section visually without cluttering the work area.
Part one asks students to underline the prepositional phrase in five sentences, while part two supplies a word box of six prepositions and prompts them to complete sentence frames. The prepositional phrases worksheet also includes a sidebar listing ten common prepositions for quick reference. The two-part structure suits a single class period and works well as independent practice or a take-home assignment.
Underline and fill-in exercises make this prepositional phrases worksheet clear and approachable for early elementary grammar practice. Instant download.

Usage Notes
Colored pencils work well here for underlining in Part 1, since students can color-code by preposition type without bleeding through the lines. A yellow highlighter pairs naturally with the underline task and keeps the focus on the phrase itself. Gel pens are fine for the fill-in blanks but skip anything too wet near the definition box, where the text is smaller and crowding is tighter.
Printing Tips
90 lb cardstock is unnecessary for a worksheet this light on ink, but bumping to 24 lb paper keeps the definition box’s blue background from ghosting through to a desk surface. Print at 100 percent scale so the fill-in lines stay wide enough for younger handwriters.
