Description
Left and right are two of the very first position words a young learner needs, and they turn up everywhere in a Kindergarten classroom — line up on the left, hold your pencil in your right hand, look both ways before you cross the street. This Left or Right Drawing Worksheet turns that everyday language into a short, friendly activity that asks a child to read a direction, look carefully, and then show what they know.
The sheet comes in two parts. In Part A, four picture boxes each hold two cheerful paper-collage pictures side by side, and a one-line direction tells the child which one to circle — the picture on the left or the picture on the right. In Part B, two large empty boxes give children room to draw a shape exactly where the direction says to put it. The directions mix the sides instead of alternating, so each one has to be read on its own, which is what makes this kindergarten following directions worksheet real practice rather than guesswork. Read the directions aloud the first time through, then let students try the second half independently.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 4 circle-the-picture direction boxes and 2 open drawing boxes
This Left or Right Drawing Worksheet helps in three ways. First, it pairs the words left and right with a physical action — circling and drawing — so the vocabulary sticks to something the child does, not just something they hear. Second, every direction is one short sentence, so beginning readers can decode it themselves and build independence. Third, the open drawing boxes let children show what they understand without writing a single word, which keeps the focus on position words instead of spelling.
Teachers and parents can stretch the skill all week. Play a quick round of Simon Says using only left and right. Put a small sticker on the back of each child’s left hand as a reminder during writing time. Ask children to help set the table and name which side the fork goes on. On a walk, take turns calling out which way to turn at each corner. Short, repeated moments like these turn left and right into automatic knowledge.
