The worksheet titled
"Front or Back?" is designed to help children understand spatial relationships—specifically, the concepts of "in front of" and "behind." The task asks students to
cut out pictures at the bottom of the page and
glue them into the correct section based on whether they are in front of or behind the house.
---
🔍 Understanding the Task:
At the top, there are two columns:
-
"in front" – for items that appear
in front of the house
-
"behind" – for items that appear
behind the house
Below each column are
four blank boxes where the cut-out images should be glued.
At the bottom, there are
eight small images (with dotted lines indicating they can be cut out):
1. Horse next to a fence
2. Tree
3. Rainbow with clouds
4. Desk
5. Rainbow with clouds (duplicate)
6. Desk (duplicate)
7. Horse
8. Tree (duplicate)
But only
one version of each image is needed.

🧩 Step-by-step Solution:
We need to determine which images go
in front and which go
behind the house, based on typical visual cues.
Let’s analyze each picture:
#### 1.
Horse next to a fence
- This horse is
outside, near a fence.
- It appears to be
in front of the house.
✔ →
In front
#### 2.
Tree
- A tree is shown
near the house, but since it's not blocking the view of the house and seems to be part of the yard, it could be
in front.
- But note: in the
top illustration, the house has a
tree to the left, so this tree likely represents the
same tree.
✔ →
In front
#### 3.
Rainbow with clouds
- Rainbows are in the sky and usually
above or
behind objects.
- Since it's floating above the house, it's
behind the house from the viewer’s perspective.
✔ →
Behind
#### 4.
Desk
- This desk is
inside the house (it looks like a wooden desk with a chair).
- So it is
inside, meaning it is
behind the house from outside.
✔ →
Behind
#### 5.
Rainbow with clouds (duplicate)
- Same as #3.
✔ →
Behind
#### 6.
Desk (duplicate)
- Same as #4.
✔ →
Behind
#### 7.
Horse
- This horse is
standing outside, possibly in the yard.
- Similar to #1, it's
in front of the house.
✔ →
In front
#### 8.
Tree (duplicate)
- Same as #2.
✔ →
In front
---
✔ Final Classification:
| In Front | Behind |
|---------|--------|
| Horse next to fence | Rainbow with clouds |
| Tree | Desk |
| Horse | Rainbow with clouds (duplicate) |
| Tree (duplicate) | Desk (duplicate) |
> Note: There are
two duplicates (rainbow and desk), so you’ll have two of each going to the same column.

💡 Teaching Tip:
This activity helps children develop
spatial reasoning by distinguishing between foreground and background elements. It also reinforces vocabulary like "front," "back," "in front of," and "behind."
