About this resource
Description
Before a child can follow a direction like “put your book below the desk,” they need words for where things are. Position words — above, below, behind, next to — are the everyday vocabulary of the classroom, and naming them is also a Kindergarten geometry standard. This Identifying Location Worksheet gives young learners a clear, picture-first way to practice saying exactly where one object sits in relation to another.
This kindergarten positions worksheet shows the same blue toy chair in four different pictures, with a red ball in a different spot each time. Children look at each picture, find the matching word in the word box at the top of the page, and write it on the line inside that card. Read the four words aloud together first, then let children point to the ball and say the word before they write it. The writing lines are sized for Kindergarten handwriting, so there is plenty of room to form every letter.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 4 picture cards and a four-word word box (above, below, behind, next to)
Three things make this identifying location worksheet work well for young learners. First, every picture uses the same two objects, so the only thing that changes is the position — children compare instead of guess. Second, the word box removes the spelling barrier, letting children spend their thinking on the spatial relationship rather than stalling on letters. Third, writing the word instead of circling it turns a recognition task into a production task, which is what makes new vocabulary stick.
Away from the page, position words are easy to practice anywhere. Play a quick round of “Where is the bear?” by moving a stuffed animal around a chair and asking children to name the spot. During clean-up, give directions using the target words — put the blocks below the shelf, stand next to the door. On a walk, take turns describing where you see a bird, a sign, or a puddle. Repeating these four words in real settings across the week is what moves them off the worksheet and into a child’s own speech.
