Teaching guide

What students learn

Describe where they and objects are using everyday position words like next to, under, above and behind.

How to teach it

Play position games using everyday words, put the bear next to, under, above, behind and between things, then have children describe where objects are.

Worked example
What is directly above the flower?
Answer: nothing

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Left and right (and 'in front/behind') change with the viewer's position, which confuses young children.
