On, under, next to... where is it?
Kindergartners learn position words that tell where something is: in, on, under, over, above, below, next to, between, before and after. They describe where things are in a picture, follow directions like "put the block under the chair," and use the words when they talk. The click moment is when a child can tell a friend exactly where to find a hidden toy using just words.
Kindergartners learn prepositions best with their bodies and their toys.
Give each child a small stuffed animal and call out directions: "Put it on your head. Under your chin. Next to your foot." Kids act it out and say the word. Moving makes the meaning stick.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
