Today we are going to be learning about using positional language. This means talking about where something is compared to something else.
Here are some examples of positional language:
Today’s task: Look at the pictures and read the words with an adult.
Choose somewhere safe that you are allowed to climb on such as the sofa or your bed. Can you move into different positions and talk about where you are? For example, “I am on the bed.” Try to do this as many ways as you can so that you can use lots of positional language.
Once you have had lots of turns, maybe you can give your adult instructions such as, “Climb under the bed!”
Challenge: Can you find and use any more positional language?
I am looking forward to hearing about how you got on.
Good morning Miss, Ruby-Mae really enjoy the activity. look mummy I’m under the table, I can go on top of the sofa. Look mummy I’m behind the chair and you can see me, I’m getting taller. I can go between the chair and the table.
Good morning everybody !
I enjoyed playing this game with my sister on my bed and with objects as well. We found other words : around, on the right, on the left (even if I am still confused between right and left). Have a good day !
Amber played the game with her puppy,
She grasped the concept well, sometimes she was behind the table and puppy was under the table, another time puppy was between her arms. We even had left foot on chair and right foot on couch etc
I really enjoyed this activity because I could bounce on the bed. I went under the table, between my two toys, next to the chair and my mummy went behind the door
Harlow liked playing this game too – she went under the table, behind the bags, between the easel and the kitchen, beside the wall, and inside the toy basket.
I had a lot of fun with this exercise. The funniest was for “above”. I sent a picture. I jumped above the ottoman!!!
I found far, around, out and upside down as other words.
Chiara found the exercise very fun and use the words with a chair .she found 3 more positional words
-lie down on the chair
-stand up on the chair
-upside down
Amber had lots of fun with the positional. We sent some photos.
She also went ‘through’ a tunnel.
Amber instructed me to :stand ‘between the sofas’, go ‘under’ the table. jump ‘above’ the bed.
Good Morning ! I’ve had my breakfast sitting between my two sons. I wish you all a good day ahead.
