Today my students were learning an exercise on prepositions. The book I chose for supplimental material unfortunately used people to explain their prepositions of location, so it was full of lovely sentences and illustrations of the following positions:

"Jack is in front of Tom."
"Ben is behind Tom."
"Tom is between Jack and Ben."
"John is under Anne."
"Anne is on John." (Anne is standing on John shoulders as he is on all fours on the ground.)
"Sam is on Sally."
"Dorthy is next to Sam."
"Mark is inside the box." (A picture of a boy box, which reminded me of the "Gimp" scene in Pulp Fiction.)

I usually use items arranged on a desk to teach prepositions, or drawings, or physical actions. I never use body locations for the obvious reason that it just sounds so…wrong when you write it down.
