Three little ideas

  • Inside means it is in something. Outside means it is out of it.
  • On means on top. Under means below.
  • The cat can sit on the mat, hide under the bed, or curl up inside a box.

Let us try. A toy car is in the box. Is the car inside or outside the box?

It is in the box, so the car is inside.

  • Near means close to you. Far means a long way off.
  • Top is the highest part. Bottom is the lowest part.
  • A bird on the top of a tree is high up; its nest at the bottom is low down.
  • In a line, the one at the front is first and the one at the back is last.
  • We can sort things from big to small — an elephant, then a dog, then a tiny ant.
  • Ordering helps us line up for games and put toys away neatly.
Remember: "first" and "last" are about order in a line, not size. The biggest one is not always first!

Where you'll use it

Position words every day

Tidying your room

Put your books on the shelf, your shoes under the bed and your crayons inside the box. Position words tell you exactly where each thing goes.

Lining up at school

When your class lines up, you know who is first, who is last, and who is near you. That keeps the line neat and tidy.

Finding lost things

Lost your toy? Look on the table, under the chair and inside the bag. Knowing where to look makes finding things easy.
