Pbs Kids Afterschool Adventure!: Operation: Lost and Found Activity Plan

Gorillas, groceries, pirate treasure, and aardvark homes: these are just a few of the things children will search for and find in this week's Afterschool Adventure, Lost and Found. Children will use position words like above, below, and beside to find groceries in a pantry; they will learn to read maps in order to find gorillas, groceries, and buried pirate treasure. They will use coordinate grids in order to find homes for animals. Finally, they will be making judgments about how to rotate and flip objects so that they fit together. All of these tasks will contribute to the development of their spatial sense.
