Birthday Candles

Worksheet Description

The worksheet displays an illustration of a cake with three candles on top. The instructions tell the student to color the candle that is in between the two other candles. Below the cake, the word “Between” is written multiple times, likely for the student to color the correct word as well, although the specific directions for this part are not visible. This sheet is a coloring activity that requires the student to identify the middle position visually.

The worksheet is designed to teach the concept of ‘between’ by having students perform a coloring task based on their understanding of this spatial relationship. By identifying and coloring the candle that is positioned between the other two, students learn to visually discern and comprehend the meaning of ‘between’. This exercise not only reinforces the spatial concept but also helps develop fine motor skills and attention to detail through the act of coloring. Additionally, repeating the word ‘between’ reinforces word recognition and possibly spelling if the word is used in a writing exercise.
