Ducks and Sheep

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual activity designed to teach the spatial concepts of ‘near’ and ‘far’. The top half of the worksheet displays a set of three ducks with a prompt for the student to color the ones that are near, which are depicted larger and with more detail. On the bottom half, there are four sheep, and the instruction asks the student to circle the sheep that are far, indicated by their smaller size and placement. A blank line at the top allows the student to write their name, personalizing their work.

The worksheet’s objective is to help students visually distinguish between objects based on their perceived distance. By coloring the ducks that appear nearer, students associate larger, clearer images with closeness. Circling the smaller, less detailed sheep as ‘far’ reinforces the concept that objects appearing smaller are seen as being further away. This activity is aimed at enhancing young learners’ spatial reasoning and understanding of perspective in a playful and engaging manner.
