Pre-K Position Words: Follow the Directions

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: following one-step location directions

1

Put a dot inside the circle.

2

Draw a star above the line.

3

Place a counter beside the square.

4

Color the shape below the triangle.

5

Put a toy behind a chair when an adult says behind.

6

Give an adult one position direction to follow.

Grown-up guide
  1. Read one direction at a time and wait before repeating it.
  2. Use the page and a real object together if a word is new.
  3. Reverse roles for the last task so the child can hear whether the direction is clear.
