Let's solve the
"In front & behind" positional words worksheet step by step.
Task:
-
Circle the puppies that are
in front.
-
Cross out the puppies that are
behind.
We’ll go through each of the six boxes and determine which puppy is in front and which is behind based on their position relative to an object (house, couch, plant, car, bike, etc.).

🔍 Explanation:
This worksheet teaches
positional vocabulary — specifically “in front” and “behind.” A puppy is
in front if it is closer to the viewer or positioned ahead of an object. It's
behind if it's farther away, obscured, or located at the back side of an object.
Use these rules to help children understand spatial relationships in real-life situations.
