Prepositions with Everyday Objects

Where is it? That is what this sheet asks. For each row the child is shown a position — the a key, a button and an umbrella next to, behind, or in front of something — and chooses the picture that shows it. These prepositions are core Kindergarten language: the words that pin down where one thing sits in relation to another. Using clear everyday objects means a child can focus entirely on the spatial relationship, not on figuring out what the objects are.

Understanding position words lets a child describe and follow directions about space — where to put something, where to find it. That is exactly the Kindergarten skill this practises: matching a position to the picture that shows it. Using clear everyday objects means the child weighs only the spatial relationship, building confidence with the words that tell us where — the words a child leans on to give directions and describe their own world.

Children who like everyday objects enjoy spotting where everything sits, and choosing the right picture feels like a small puzzle. When this feels easy, find the positions in prepositions with musical instruments, or try prepositions with post office. You can also browse every preposition worksheet or the whole everyday objects collection for kindergarten — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and every position a child names aloud makes the next one quicker to spot.
