Teaching Left And Right


Guest

Recommended Posts

Could anyone tell me how they get their children to remember left and right? Is it just the old trick of holding out your hands, thumbs at right angles and looking for the L? Anyone got any other ideas?

The children here have remembered it through our road safety training, we go on walks every day. They always look right first then the left then the right before we cross. They know the traffic coming towards them on their side of the road is the right.

We also play the hokey cokey a lot. Looking for the L is good if they know their letters.

I also tell them of the L shape in our left hands :) .

 

The traffic is different in Europe, so we have to look 1st to our left, then right, then left :o .

 

Then, I sometimes right a big L and a big R on the chalkboard when I do some literacy or numeracy activities... showing that we go from left to right.

 

Also, in any incidental situations, I use the term.
