Directions for Kitty catch

• We are playing a game called Kitty Catch
• You will sit with your heads down and eyes closed
  while I hide stuffed cat somewhere in the
  classroom. We are using a cat because
  prepositions are -anywhere a cat can go-
• The person who finds the cat must say where it is
  at and then identify the preposition
• Example if the cat is under the table you would
  say, the cat is under the table and the
  preposition is under

The end

• Please sit quietly until we start the game.
