Support students in learning to describe where things are with our Where is It Located? Positional Language PowerPoint. This interactive resource helps students practise using and understanding positional language in a fun and structured way - perfect for whole-class modelling or group practise.

This PowerPoint is divided into two sections. In the first part, students respond to a positional statement with a thumbs up or thumbs down to show whether it is true or false. In the second section, they complete cloze sentences by choosing from multiple choice positional words. The bright visuals and clear structure make it easy for learners to engage and participate.

Where is It Located? Positional Language PowerPoint is editable, so you can adjust the slides or add additional questions to match your students' needs. It’s ideal for building early oral language, spatial awareness, and comprehension skills through interactive class discussion.
