Talking Points
- What is position? - "Position tells us where something is located. It can be described using words like 'in front of', 'behind', or 'next to'."
- Why is it important to know positions? - "Understanding positions helps us give directions, find things easily, and create maps."
- How can we describe positions? - "We can use words like 'above', 'below', 'beside', and 'between' to describe where objects are placed."
- Let's practice! - "Let's play a game where we take turns describing where objects are in the room using position words."
