Master Positional Language with Cut-and-Paste Worksheets

Are you looking for an age-appropriate resource to teach your students about positional language that also encourages the use of fine motor skills such as cutting and gluing? Look no further than Teach Starter’s positional language worksheet pack!

This engaging set of cut-and-paste worksheets provides a hands-on way for students to develop an understanding of positional language in real-world scenarios. Students must carefully follow the instructions to place people and objects correctly within the provided setting, reinforcing their comprehension of positional words while enhancing their fine motor skills.

Five different scenes are featured in this set of positional language worksheets. They are:

  • The Farm
  • The Kitchen
  • The Bridge
  • The Campground
  • The House

Using this resource, students will learn positional language such as: in, on, above, between, below, near, next to, in front of, and more!

More Positional Language Activities

One of the great benefits of this resource is its versatility! You can use both the colour scene pictures and the black-and-white scene pictures in various hands-on positional language activities. Here are some creative ways to incorporate them into engaging learning experiences:

  1. Play Dough Mats – Laminate the colour scenes. Have the students use play dough to create objects, then place them in different positions according to positional language prompts, e.g. “Make a ball to put under the tree.”
  2. Object Placement Game – Provide the students with small toys, counters or figurines. Have them place the objects onto the scenes while explaining aloud their placement choices, e.g. “I am putting the dog next to the house.”
  3. Barrier Game – Place the students in pairs. Provide each student in the pair with the same scene. One student gives positional instructions while the other arranges small objects or figures on an identical scene behind a barrier. They compare at the end to check accuracy.
  4. Extra Features – Using the black-and-white scenes, have students draw in additional features based on various positional language clues, e.g. “Draw a sun above the house.”
  5. Stamp Activity – Provide students with the black-and-white version of one of the scenes and set of stamps. Have students place a stamp onto the scene as you call out positional language clues, e.g. “Put a stamp in the middle of the front door.”
