This resource supports students to develop positional language through an engaging, real‑world shopping context. Using a shopping trolley grid and food cards, students describe where items are placed using terms such as on, above, next to, and between.

Set up as a barrier game, one student gives verbal directions while the other listens and follows instructions. This structure encourages precise language, active listening and confidence when explaining ideas, making it a practical and engaging way to reinforce positional concepts.

Flexible Classroom Uses for Positional Language Practice

This barrier game can be used in a range of purposeful and creative ways, including:

• As a short oral language warm‑up
• During guided group rotations
• With students creating their own trolley layouts for a partner
• As a hands‑on revision activity when revisiting positional language
