Between Practice Activities
Printable position worksheets for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to identify, mark, colour and place objects that are between two others.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding “between”
These Between practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children understand the position word between in a clear, visual way. Children look at groups of objects and find the item in the middle of two other things.
The printable worksheets include simple picture-based tasks such as circling, colouring, matching and placing objects. They support early maths language, observation and positional understanding within the Position topic.
“Between” tells where something is when it is in the space separating two other objects. In these worksheets, children may see a ball between two boxes, a child between two trees, or an animal between two other animals. The focus is not counting; it is noticing position and using the correct word to describe it.
How the activities progress
The pages begin with direct visual choices: identify the object between two clearly separated pictures. Later tasks may ask children to colour the object between, tick the correct picture, or draw something between two given objects. This gentle progression helps young learners move from recognition to using the concept independently.
Parent routine at home
Use real objects before the worksheet. Place a pencil between two crayons and say, “The pencil is between the crayons.” Then change the objects and ask, “What is between?” After this, let your child complete one printable page. Encourage them to point first, say the sentence aloud, and then colour or circle the answer.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets after a floor activity with children standing between two classmates, or after arranging classroom objects in a line. The worksheets work well for maths readiness, oral language practice, morning work, or small-group reinforcement. They also help teachers see whether a child understands the word or is only copying nearby answers.
Common errors and a child-friendly strategy
Some children choose an object that is simply near another object, or they pick the middle item in a row without checking the two side objects. A helpful strategy is: “Find the two guards, then look in the gap.” Ask children to touch the left object, touch the right object, and then point to what is between them.
