Let’s go through each picture one by one and think about what “up” and “down” mean.
“Up” means going higher — like climbing stairs, flying in the sky, or being on top of something.
“Down” means going lower — like sliding down, falling, or being at the bottom.

First box: Is the boy going up or down?
The boy is walking on stairs that go from the bottom left to the top right. He’s moving toward the top of the stairs. So he’s going
up.
✔ Circle:
Up

Second box: Where are the clouds up or down?
Clouds are floating in the sky — above the mountains and trees. That’s high up! So they’re
up.
✔ Circle:
Up

Third box: Where is the cat up or down?
There’s a slide with a ladder. The cat is sitting at the very top of the slide, ready to slide down. Being at the top means it’s
up.
✔ Circle:
Up
*(Note: Even though the slide goes down, the question asks where the cat IS — not where it’s going. The cat is currently at the top.)*

Fourth box: Where is the boy up or down?
This is a seesaw. One side is up, one side is down. The boy is on the side that’s touching the ground — that’s the lower side. So he’s
down.
✔ Circle:
Down

Final Answer:
- First box: Up
- Second box: Up
- Third box: Up
- Fourth box: Down
