Matching Positional Words

Overview:

This activity helps students match pictures with positional words, such as "under," "between," and "behind," to develop their understanding of spatial relationships. Designed for students in prep, year 1 and year 2.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise and match common positional words to corresponding pictures.
• Understand and describe basic spatial relationships.
• Improve vocabulary and comprehension of positional language.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of pictures and a list of positional words (e.g., under, between, in, behind, through). They will draw lines connecting each picture with the correct positional word. For example, a picture of a ball under a table should be connected to the word "under," while a picture of a cat between two chairs should be matched with "between." By completing this activity, students will visually connect positional language with real-world scenarios, helping them reinforce their understanding of basic spatial concepts.
