About this worksheet
Five rows of animals waiting in line, with a flag at the front. Kids find the first, the last, the middle and the second animal and the one between two others, coloring the box under it or circling it, which links position words to ordinal words. The answer key is on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners.
On this sheet
animal, or circle it. Color the box under the FIRST animal in line. Circle the LAST animal in line. Color the box under the animal in the MIDDLE. Circle the SECOND animal in line. Color the box under the animal BETWEEN the bear and the dog.
Tips for using it
- Read the sentence aloud and stress the position word, then let your child point before coloring.
- Use a toy and a box to act out the word first: put the bear in, on, under, behind and next to the box.
- For left and right, keep the paper straight in front of your child and check with the L-shaped left hand.
- On the arrow grid, let your child move a coin or a button square by square instead of tracing with a pencil.
