Spatial Directions: Fourth of July

A little early, but here are some positional directions with an Independence Day theme.  I am especially excited about the Fourth of July this year because my baby girl is due that day!  The basic concepts addressed in this activity are over, under, above, below, beside, and next to.

Spatial Concepts: Front & Behind Flash Cards

These flash cards address the spatial or positional concepts of front and behind.  This concept is much easier to target with actual objects, but flash cards have their place too.  I find that this particular concept is NOT well targeted with iPad apps.  I've used one where the student drags and drops an item behind or in front of a house, but it's really more just to the left or the right of the house.  I do, however, love iPad apps for other spatial concepts like above and below, or left and right.

Try pairing these cards with a fun game like Pop-Up Pirate!

Spatial Concepts: Above & Below

These flash cards address the positional concepts of above and below.  I have included 24 cards.

Spatial Directions: Cinco de Mayo

Here are some positional directions with a Cinco de Mayo theme.  I don't know about the rest of the country but this is big here in Texas.  I especially love it because my husband is half Mexican and we got married in Mexico!  Of course, I'd rather celebrate with a margarita than with a Cinco de Mayo worksheet... but hopefully my clients will think this is fun!

Spatial Concepts: Left & Right Flash Cards

I'm working on left and right with one of my clients.  Here are 24 flash cards that we will pair with a fun game like Pop-Up Pirate!

Spatial Directions: Earth Day

Just realized tomorrow is Earth Day!  Here are some of my world famous spatial or positional directions involving above, below, beside, and next to.

Spatial Concepts: Questions about Object Locations 2

This is similar to a worksheet I posted last week, which addressed over, under, and beside.  This one addresses behind and in front of, which I think are more difficult.  These require the student to take the perspective of the girl, for example, in order to determine what object is in front of her versus behind her.  In other words, the correct answer depends on which way she is facing.  This is difficult especially for children with autism, who often have trouble with perspective taking skills.

This worksheet has two pages for a total of 12 positional questions.

Spatial Concepts: Questions about Object Locations 1

I made this worksheet to work on answering questions about which item is under, over, or beside another object.  There are 3 pages for a total of 18 questions.  Love working on those positional concepts!!!

Positional Directions: Easter Theme

I love using these spatial/positional concept worksheets!  Here is one I just made with an Easter egg theme.  I wish I had made it a week ago so more of you could use it, but better late than never!

What's the next holiday coming up?  I don't think I could really do Memorial Day themed directions, and the 4th of July is still a long way away (I know because it's my baby's due date)!

Spatial Directions: Baby Girl Theme

I'm having a baby girl this summer and I thought I'd make some positional directions with a baby girl theme!  This would be fun for preschoolers or anyone who is interested in baby dolls!  It would also be perfect if you happen to have a client or student who has a baby sister!

Spatial Directions: St. Patrick's Day

I can't get enough of these spatial directions worksheets!  I have so many kids who struggle with spatial concepts and following positional directions.  This worksheet is a little less messy in that it does not require scissors and glue, but uses markers or crayons instead.

Spatial Directions: Valentine's Day

Here are some more directions for working on spatial or positional concepts!

Spatial Directions: Groundhog Day

I know these positional directions worksheets were a hit when I made the halloween and thanksgiving directions, so I thought I'd try again with groundhog day directions!  Thanks to sweetclipart.com for the free clipart!

Spatial Concepts: Following Left/Right Directions

I'm working on left vs. right with one of my clients!  This would be fun to use with "Simon Says" in a group!

Spatial Directions: Dots on a Face

Spatial or positional concepts are so hard for my clients with autism.  Here they are just drawing a dot, but it's more motivating to think of that dot as a booger, wart, or bug... especially for my sweet little boys!




Spatial Directions: Thanksgiving Theme

The Halloween cut and paste positional directions pages were a hit, so I made Thanksgiving following directions worksheets!  They can be used for working on basic spatial concepts, following directions, learning prepositions, etc.  You can also ask "where" questions after finishing the activity.


Spatial Directions: Halloween

This cut-and-paste activity works on positional or spatial concepts and has a Halloween theme.  You can also ask "where" questions after completing the activity to work on prepositions.  This worksheet won PediaStaff's Pinterest Pin of the Week!


Spatial Concepts: Prepositions Booklet

Print all pages and make a booklet!  Then cut out the pictures and have the child follow the positional directions.  (To make it easier, draw 3 X's on each page so the child has 3 choices for where to glue the item).  After completing the activity, ask "where" questions to work on prepositions.

Note: I made this using Microsoft Publisher, which I no longer have.  I am not sure whether the pages print in the order that they are supposed to when you print them from this PDF.  You may want to print them all first and then rearrange them!
