Busy P's: Prepositions

Schoolhouse Rock videos are some of my favorites to show students.  They are short and have a catchy tunes that stick in your head the rest of the day.  I swear you'll catch yourself humming the tune at the oddest times!  Try it and see for yourself.  Here's the video about prepositions:

When I was a student many years ago, my teacher taught us to remember prepositions with the story of a squirrel and a tree.  A squirrel can go up a tree, around a tree, in a tree, by a tree . . . you get the picture.  For some reason, that story has stuck in my head all these years.  I thought an ant themed activity could be fun to do after watching the Schoolhouse Rock video.  I made a packet you can download for free.
