Imagine you are in the classroom and want to go to the school library. Describe the path you would take using the words: front, back, left, right, up, down, inside, and outside.

In the classroom, we use many things that have specific places to stay, like books on the shelf and desks lined up. If you hide a toy under the table, is it 'inside' or 'outside' the table? Think about where toys are when you play 'hide and seek'. When someone says 'the toy is to the left of the chair' or 'the toy is on top of the table', we know exactly where to look. Now it's your turn: Describe, in your own words, where you would place a toy in the classroom so your friends can find it using the concepts of 'in front of', 'behind', 'on top of', and 'under'.

In your classroom, you have a desk where you put your supplies and a locker where you keep your snack. The desk is under a big board on the wall, and the locker is next to the door. Think about everything you have learned about 'on', 'under', 'in front of', 'behind', 'left', and 'right'. Now, describe where you would need to walk from your desk to get to the locker, using these magical words that help us understand where things are.

In our school, we have many places to learn and play. The classroom, the playground, the library, and the cafeteria are some of these places. In order not to get lost and find the way, we use words like 'front', 'back', 'left', 'right', 'up', 'down', 'inside', and 'outside'. Think about your Geography classroom and choose an object that is in it. Describe where it is using words that show the position of the object in relation to other objects, such as the teacher's desk, the blackboard, or the window.

Imagine you are an astronaut and you are on a space mission to find a hidden treasure in the school. Think about all the rooms you need to pass through, such as the classroom, the library, the cafeteria, and the teachers' room. Describe the path you would take, using the words 'front', 'back', 'left', 'right', 'up', 'down', 'inside', and 'outside' to show the direction you would take in relation to each room and objects you would encounter along the way. Where do you think the treasure is hidden and why? Explain your answer.
