Mark's Note: This set has a ball and various objects to illustrate the movement. I start with this set to just teach the prepositions with the object, 'up the stairs' and 'over the box' for example. You could add 'go' if your students are ready for that. Another options is to practice with 'go' before moving on to Set 2, 'go down the stairs.'
As best I could, I tried to keep the object (the box) the same for simplicity. Once the students have learned the prepositions and prepositional phrases, I move on to Set 2 and practice with verbs and real objects.
Set 1, Set 2, Set 3
