Where Is It?

Say where things are: on, under, in, next to, in front of, behind.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child uses position words: on, under, in, next to, in front of, and behind. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 38

Words tell us where things are. The cat is on the box. Now the cat is under the box!
The dog is in the box. Now the dog is next to the box.
In front of means closer to you. Behind means on the far side, partly hidden.
Your turn! Point to the picture where the bear is under the box. It's the middle one!
Try it with a grown-up! Play a hiding game with a toy. Say where it is: under the table, behind the chair, in the box.
