Next Candles

Worksheet Description

The worksheet displays an image of a cake with two candles on top and provides an instruction for the student to color the candle next to another candle. Below the image of the cake, the phrase “Next to” is repeatedly written. The student is likely expected to color one of the candles to show understanding of the concept ‘next to.’ The repeated phrases may also imply that there is a handwriting or word recognition component to the exercise, although the specific instructions for this part are not included in the visible section of the worksheet.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of ‘next to,’ a prepositional term that describes a position directly adjacent to another object. By selecting and coloring one of the candles, the student demonstrates an understanding of the concept. The task may also involve writing the phrase ‘next to’ to reinforce language skills, including word recognition and handwriting. This simple activity combines spatial awareness with fine motor skill development, as it requires careful coloring within a specified area.
