About this worksheet
Rows of pictures with a table or a box. Circle the one where the animal or toy is in, on, under or next to it.
What kids practice
Concept words tell where something is, how big it is, or which one it is: in, on, under, next to, big, little, first, last, same and different. Teachers use these words all day ("Put your folder in your cubby"), so knowing them helps kids follow directions and describe what they see.
Watch for
- Mixing up on and in. Show a toy sitting on top of a box, then inside it.
- Mixing up first and last. Line up toys and walk along the line from the front.
- Pointing instead of saying the word. Ask "Where is it?" and wait for "under."
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full concept words guide for kindergarten.
