If you take out the prepositional phrase, the sentence will still make sense. A prepositional phrase contains a preposition, a noun, and usually an article or other adjective.
"The little children raced around the playground."
If you take out "around the playground", the sentence would still make sense. The word "around" is the preposition and "playground" is the noun that is the object of the preposition.
Therefore, "around the playground" is the prepositional phrase in this sentence.
