City Gymkhana Chase (Prepositions of Place) 🦁🏃♂️🌆
A boy runs in the city, and a fierce—but silly—lion pads after him. The boy jumps over a fence and lands on a bench.
The lion stops next to the bus stop and checks a map 🤔. The boy slides under a bridge and crawls through a tunnel.
He hides between two big bins, very still. The lion sniffs near the market and sneezes—achoo!
The boy climbs a ladder above the street and tiptoes along a rooftop. The lion looks below the bridge again and chases a floating balloon 🎈.
The boy slips in a café near the park and smiles. The lion blinks, looks between two lampposts, and shrugs. “Gymkhana is hard!” 😅
