Pre-K Position Words: In Front and Behind

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: describing front-to-back positions

1

Put a toy in front of a book.

2

Put a coin behind a cup.

3

Circle the child in front of the slide.

4

Draw a tree behind a house.

5

Line up two blocks. Point to the block in front.

6

Tell an adult where one toy is in your line.

Grown-up guide
  1. Arrange objects from the child's viewing position before changing sides.
  2. Let the child walk around the line once so behind does not become a left-right guess.
  3. Use the same reference object in each first example.
