Pre-K Hide-and-Find Position Game

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: listening for location clues to find an object

1

Find the counter under the cup.

2

Find the crayon beside the paper.

3

Put a toy in front of the book.

4

Draw where you hid the toy.

5

Choose on, under, or beside to finish: The coin is ___ the box.

6

Give an adult a clue to find one safe object.

Grown-up guide
  1. Hide only familiar, safe objects in plain sight; this is a language game, not a search challenge.
  2. Say the reference object first and the location word with a pause.
  3. Follow the child's clue literally, then ask for one detail if it is unclear.
