Instagram Scavenger Hunt: Verb-Preposition Collocations (in, on, at, of)

Engage your A2 and B1 learners with this fun Instagram Scavenger Hunt activity focused on verb-preposition collocations. Students practice combinations with “in,” “on,” and “at” by matching captions to images found online. Ideal for discovery, practice, and mastery!

An actual fun and effective way to discover, practice, and master verb-preposition collocations with our Instagram Scavenger Hunt: Verb-Preposition Collocation Edition! This interactive ESL activity is designed for A2 learners to discover and practice, and B1 learners to review and master verb-preposition combinations with “in,” “on,” and “at.” Students will explore the world of verb-preposition collocations through Instagram-style captions, each featuring a different collocation.

Students will engage by searching the internet for images that best match each caption. They can work independently or in pairs, fostering both collaboration and independent thinking.

Variations to enhance the activity:

  • Caption Contest: Set a time limit for students to find one image for each caption, and then have the class vote on the best one!
  • Image Hunt: Challenge students to find as many images as possible for a single caption within a set time limit.
  • Caption Matching: Assign students specific captions and have them find corresponding images for each one.
  • Create Your Own Captions: Use the two included Instagram posts to encourage students to write their own verb-preposition captions.
  • Paired Up: Have pairs take turns finding an image, while the other writes the matching caption.

Perfect for A2 and B1 learners, this printable and online-friendly activity offers an engaging and creative way to practice verb-preposition collocations in a fun, memorable context!

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
