Pre-K Build a Shape Position Picture

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: combining shapes with location words to make a planned picture

1

Draw a circle above a square.

2

Put a triangle on the square to make a roof.

3

Draw a small circle beside the house.

4

Put a rectangle under the square as a path.

5

Add one shape behind the house.

6

Tell an adult where each shape is in your picture.

Grown-up guide
  1. Name the shape and its location separately before the child draws.
  2. Accept rough shapes; the teaching goal is spatial language and placement.
  3. Ask the child to point while explaining each relation.
