Interactive worksheet activity for children to learn and practice positional language using images of a bear, duck, puppies, and a dog with a table, grass, and carrier.

The image shows a worksheet titled "What Is the Position?" designed to help children learn positional words by cutting and gluing the correct word to describe where an animal is located in relation to an object.

---

🔍 Task Description:

For each picture, students must:
- Observe the position of an animal (bear, duck, puppies, dog) relative to an object (table, grass, corner, etc.).
- Choose the correct positional word from a list at the bottom.
- Cut and glue that word into the blank sentence.

The positional words provided are:
> under, between, on top, beside, in

---

✔ Step-by-step Solution:

Let’s analyze each image and determine the correct positional word.

---

#### 1. The bear is ______ the table.
- Image: A bear is sitting under the table.
- Correct word: under
- ✔ Sentence: *The bear is under the table.*

---

#### 2. The duck is ______ the grass.
- Image: A duck is standing on the grass.
- Note: "in" could be tempting, but since the duck is on top of the grass, the best word here is on, but "on" isn't listed. However, we have "on top" as one option.
- Correct word: on top
- ✔ Sentence: *The duck is on top of the grass.*

Wait — actually, the phrase is written as:
> "The duck is ______ the grass."

So if we use "on top", it would need to be "on top of" — but the blank is only one space. So we must check what words are available.

Looking at the word bank:
> under | between | on top | beside | in

We can see "on top" is one word — likely meant to be used as a single unit.

But the sentence says:
> "The duck is ______ the grass."

So we’d need to say:
> "The duck is on top of the grass."

But the blank is just one box — so perhaps "on top" is intended to fill the blank, even though grammatically it should be followed by “of.”

Alternatively, maybe the intended answer is "in"?

But the duck is on the grass, not in it.

Hmm.

Let’s reconsider:

- If the duck is standing on the grass, then "on top" is acceptable, even if slightly awkward.
- But "in" would mean inside or within the grass, which doesn’t fit.

So likely, the intended answer is:
> on top

Even though it's a two-word phrase, it's listed as one choice.

✔ So: *The duck is on top the grass.* → This is awkward, but possibly accepted in early learning contexts.

Better phrasing might be: "The duck is on the grass", but "on" isn't listed.

Wait — let's look again.

The word bank has:
> under | between | on top | beside | in

So "on top" is one of the options.

So the sentence becomes:
> "The duck is on top the grass." → Still missing "of".

But perhaps the worksheet assumes "on top" is sufficient.

Alternatively, maybe the duck is in the grass? No — it's clearly on top.

So likely, "on top" is the intended answer.

✔ Answer: on top

#### 3. The puppies are ______ the carrier.
- Image: Two puppies are inside a pet carrier.
- They are inside the carrier.
- The word "in" is available.
- ✔ Sentence: *The puppies are in the carrier.*

---

#### 4. The dog is ______ of the table.
- Image: A dog is sitting beside the table.
- The word "beside" is in the list.
- ✔ Sentence: *The dog is beside of the table.*

Wait — this is problematic.

It says: "The dog is ______ of the table."

But "beside" is a preposition — you don't say "beside of". You say "beside" or "next to".

So the sentence structure is flawed.

But looking at the original worksheet, it says:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

And the word bank includes "beside".

This suggests the intended phrase is:
> "The dog is beside the table."

But there's "of" after the blank — so the sentence is:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

That means the blank must be filled with a word that works with "of".

So possible phrases:
- "on top of"
- "in front of"
- "behind"

But the only one in the word bank that ends with "of" is "on top"?

No — "on top" is a phrase, and it's already used.

Wait — the word bank has:
> under | between | on top | beside | in

None of these work perfectly with "of" except "on top".

But "on top" is already used for the duck.

Let’s re-express:

If the sentence is:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

Then the only possible word from the list that makes sense is "beside" — but "beside of" is incorrect.

This is a grammar error in the worksheet.

But wait — perhaps the "of" is part of the sentence, and the blank is for a word like "on top", which would make:
> "The dog is on top of the table."

But earlier, the duck was also "on top" of the grass.

So both cannot be "on top".

Let’s go back.

Look at the dog image: The dog is sitting on a small stool next to the table.

So the dog is beside the table.

But the sentence says: "The dog is ______ of the table."

So unless the blank is for "beside", but that would make "beside of" — which is wrong.

Alternatively, maybe the word "beside" is meant to be used without "of"?

But the sentence includes "of".

This is confusing.

Wait — perhaps the "of" is not meant to be there?

Let’s compare both versions.

On the left side (original), the sentence is:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

Same on the right.

But the word bank includes "beside", which does not go with "of".

So likely, the sentence should be:
> "The dog is ______ the table."

But it says "of the table".

Unless the intended word is "on top", meaning:
> "The dog is on top of the table."

But the dog is on a stool, not on the table.

So that’s not accurate.

Wait — maybe the dog is on top of the table?

No — in the image, the dog is on a small blue chair/stool next to the table.

So the dog is beside the table.

But the sentence has "of the table".

This suggests a mistake in the worksheet.

However, given the word bank and images, let’s try to match correctly.

Let's Re-evaluate All:

#### 1. Bear and table
- Bear is under the table.
- ✔ Word: under

#### 2. Duck and grass
- Duck is on top of the grass.
- Word bank has "on top" — likely intended.
- ✔ Word: on top

#### 3. Puppies and carrier
- Puppies are in the carrier.
- ✔ Word: in

#### 4. Dog and table
- Dog is beside the table.
- But sentence says: "The dog is ______ of the table."
- Only possible word that fits with "of" is "on top" — but dog is not on top of the table.
- Or "between"? No — no other object.
- Or "under"? No — dog is above.
- Or "beside"? But "beside of" is incorrect.

So this is a problem.

Wait — perhaps the word bank is meant to be used for all sentences, and the sentence structure varies.

But the sentence for the dog is: "The dog is ______ of the table."

So the blank must be a word that can go with "of".

Possible correct phrases:
- on top of
- in front of
- behind
- between
- under

But only "on top" is in the list.

But the dog is not on top of the table.

So contradiction.

Wait — maybe I misread the image.

Let me describe the images carefully.

From the right-hand side of the worksheet:

1. Bear under table → ✔ under
2. Duck on grass → ✔ on top (though awkward)
3. Puppies in carrier → ✔ in
4. Dog on a small stool beside table → should be beside, but sentence says "______ of the table"

But the word bank includes "beside", so likely the sentence is supposed to be:
> "The dog is ______ the table."

But it says "of the table".

Possibility: It's a typo. Maybe the "of" is meant to be omitted.

Or maybe the word "beside" is intended, and "of" is a mistake.

Alternatively, perhaps the dog is on top of the table?

No — in the image, the dog is on a chair, not on the table.

So that can't be.

Another possibility: The word "beside" is used, and the "of" is a formatting error.

But let's look at the left side of the worksheet — same layout.

On the left side, the sentence for the dog is:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

Same issue.

But the word bank includes "beside", so it must be intended.

Therefore, the most plausible explanation is that the sentence should be:
> "The dog is ______ the table."

And the "of" is a typo.

Or, alternatively, the word bank includes "beside", and it's expected to be used as:
> "The dog is beside the table."

Ignoring the "of" — but that's not grammatically correct.

Wait — perhaps the "of" is part of the phrase, and the blank is for "on top", making:
> "The dog is on top of the table."

But the dog is not on the table.

So that doesn't work.

Alternatively, maybe the dog is between something?

No — only the table and the dog are visible.

Wait — the dog is on a chair that is beside the table.

So the dog is beside the table.

Thus, the correct word is beside, and the sentence should be:
> "The dog is beside the table."

But the worksheet says:
> "The dog is ______ of the table."

This is likely a mistake in the worksheet.

Perhaps the intended sentence was:
> "The dog is ______ the table."

Without "of".

Or, the word "beside" is meant to be used despite the "of".

But that's not standard English.

✔ Final Answer (based on logic and images):

| Sentence | Correct Word | Reason |
|--------|--------------|-------|
| The bear is ______ the table. | under | Bear is beneath the table. |
| The duck is ______ the grass. | on top | Duck is on the surface of the grass. |
| The puppies are ______ the carrier. | in | Puppies are inside the carrier. |
| The dog is ______ of the table. | beside | Dog is next to the table. (Despite "of" being present, "beside" is the only logical choice; likely a typo.) |

But since "beside" doesn't go with "of", and "on top" is already used, and the dog is not on top, this is problematic.

Wait — another idea: Perhaps the word bank allows "on top" to be used, and the sentence is:
> "The dog is on top of the table."

But the dog is not on the table.

So no.

Unless the image shows the dog on the table?

Let me recheck.

In the image: The dog is sitting on a small blue stool next to the table.

So not on the table.

So "beside" is correct.

Therefore, the only conclusion is that the sentence has a typo — it should be:
> "The dog is ______ the table."

Then "beside" fits.

Alternatively, if "of" is required, then no word in the list fits.

But since "beside" is in the word bank, and it's the only one that makes sense, we must assume the "of" is a mistake.

✔ Final Answers (with corrections):

1. The bear is under the table.
2. The duck is on top the grass. *(Note: "on top of" is better, but "on top" is provided)*
3. The puppies are in the carrier.
4. The dog is beside the table. *(Assuming "of" is a typo)*

📝 Summary:

| Image | Animal | Position | Correct Word |
|------|--------|----------|--------------|
| 1 | Bear | Under table | under |
| 2 | Duck | On grass | on top |
| 3 | Puppies | Inside carrier | in |
| 4 | Dog | Beside table | beside |

> ✔ Final Answer:
> - The bear is under the table.
> - The duck is on top the grass.
> - The puppies are in the carrier.
> - The dog is beside the table.

(Note: The sentence for the dog may contain a typo — "of" should probably be removed.)
