Treasured Conversations users, what do you use to teach prepositions?

[JRmommy]

We did about 3/4ths of FLL3 in 2014-2015, and started TC in March of 2016.  We finished up the grammar section and are beginning the paragraph construction section.  However, TC didn't cover prepositions.  As my son is labeling sentences in TC, he wants to give a label to each word, but prepositions are not included in the labeling.  I'm considering adding in FLL for preposition review.  What do you all use to teach and review prepositions?

For prepositions, I only give my kids the hint that a preposition is "anywhere a mouse can go".  (under, over, behind, beside, to, from, in out of...).  Once they an pick out the obvious ones relating to location/position, they can generally see structurally what other, less obvious words are also prepositions.  

 

Personally, I wouldn't add in an entire other curr just to learn what prepositions are.

Bumping up for more responses, please!

Thank you for the idea! I wasn't thinking of using an entire other curriculum. I was just trying to figure out what others do who use TC. As I mentioned, we have FLL 3 and finished about 3/4ths of it. I could always go back to be chapters on prepositions for review.

Try reading him Grammar Land? DS found it very funny, and it's free.

My kid did TC after learning the prepostion list and definition in FLL.
