- And we are here, and we are going to talk about positional language today.
A positional language just means an object, and we're telling where it is in relation to other things.
Like Maddie and I are next to each other.
I have another one for you.
I'm in front of Maddie.
Maddie is behind me.
[gentle music] Now, we're gonna need a stuffed animal, an object.
We have a ball, a hula-hoop, and our friend- - Chloe!
- Chloe the bear!
So, we're gonna play some games together where we are gonna talk about language.
Maddie, with our hula-hoop on the floor, can you put the ball in front of the hula-hoop?
- Yes.
- In front of.
- Here, oh is that...I'll show you right.
- Good correcting it.
That's in front of the hula-hoop.
All right Maddie, our next one is, through the hula-hoop.
So, I'm gonna hold our hula-hoop sideways.
Can you put the ball through the hula-hoop?
- Good.
That was a nice shot, Maddie, high-five.
The next one is on top of.
Could you put Chloe on top of your chair?
[gentle music] On top of.
[gentle music] Let's back it up so we get it right in our camera.
On top of.
Great!
[laughing] She fell!
- She's too little.
- She can lay down.
There she goes.
She is on top of the chair.
Can you put Chloe below the chair?
[gentle music] Chloe is definitely below the chair.
[gentle music] All right, let's get our chair out of the way.
Maddie, can you move the ball around our hula-hoop?
Around.
[gentle music] Great job, Maddie.
Can you put Chloe beneath the chair?
Beneath.
That was a tricky one, Maddie.
Good job.
Nice.
[gentle music] Can you put Chloe beside the chair?
Beside the chair?
[cheerful music] Nice.
Can you put the ball in the hula-hoop?
- Yep.
- Maddie is doing so much work today.
[cheerful music] In the hula-hoop.
[ball bouncing] Love it.
[cheerful music] All right, Maddie, we have the ball and our hula-hoop, and our chair.
Can you put the ball between the chair and the hula-hoop?
Between.
Put the ball between.
There you go.
Good, the ball is in between the chair and hula-hoop.
[gentle music] All right, Maddie, do you want me to do some for you?
- Yep!
- Here you go, you come stand right where I am.
And, I'm gonna do the next one.
I'm gonna put Chloe under the chair.
What's the next one?
[gentle music] - Below.
- It's down.
- Down.
- So, I'm gonna drop something down.
I think I'm gonna hold the ball up and drop it- - Down.
- Down.
Because it went down to the ground.
- Yeah.
- Good job, Maddie.
All right, and this is the word "Left."
- Left.
- Left.
We're going to move something left.
Woo!
[Maddie indistinct] - Yeah that one, left, that was the last one, left.
[cheerful music] And now we're going to move something- - Right!
- Right!
I'll get my ball back.
- Right.
- Are you ready?
- Right.
- Good job.
Come stand back here.
And here goes the ball right.
Whoa!
All right, stand back up and show the next one.
What do we have?
[upbeat music] - In.
- Inside.
I think I'm gonna do it with my whole body.
- Inside!
- I'm inside.
So if I was holding the hula-hoop and Chloe.
Is Chloe above the hula-hoop?
- Yes.
- All right tell me, where's Chloe?
[cheerful music] - On top of the chair.
- Good!
Ready?
Where is Chloe?
- Next to the chair.
[cheerful music] - Where's Chloe?
- Behind the chair.
- Good.
Where's Chloe?
- Above the chair.
- You're awesome.
I think that's it.
