Let's solve this spatial relations worksheet step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with the correct preposition:
on, near, next to, behind, or under.
We’ll analyze each sentence based on the image:
---
Image Description:
- There is a
bed with a
cat hiding
under it.
- An
owl is
on the bed (sleeping).
- A
table is next to the bed.
- On the table: a
ball, a
bag (purple), and a
camera.
- Under the table: a
gift (green box with red bow).
- A
dog is standing
next to the table.
- The
cat is
under the bed.
---
Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
The owl is _________ the bed.
→ The owl is lying on top of the bed.
✔ Answer: on
2.
The ball is _________ the table.
→ The ball is sitting on the surface of the table.
✔ Answer: on
3.
The gift is _________ the dog.
→ The gift is under the table, and the dog is standing beside it. So the gift is
under the table, but
near the dog?
Let’s look closely: The dog is
next to the table, and the gift is
under the table — so the gift is
under the table and
near the dog.
But the sentence says "the gift is _________ the dog."
Since the gift is close to the dog, but not directly touching, the best choice is
near.
✔ Answer: near
4.
The dog is _________ the table.
→ The dog is standing right beside the table.
✔ Answer: next to
5.
The ball is _________ the bag.
→ Both the ball and the bag are on the table. The ball is
next to the bag.
✔ Answer: next to
6.
The cat is hiding _________ the bed.
→ The cat is clearly under the bed.
✔ Answer: under

Final Answers:
1. The owl is
on the bed.
2. The ball is
on the table.
3. The gift is
near the dog.
4. The dog is
next to the table.
5. The ball is
next to the bag.
6. The cat is hiding
under the bed.
✔ All answers are based on careful observation of the spatial relationships in the image.
