Digital Math for Kindergarten | Spatial Relationship Activities | Google Slides™ | Ontario 2026 Aligned

Looking for interactive kindergarten spatial relationships activities you can use for digital math centres, whole-group lessons, or distance learning?

This Google Slides™ spatial relationships resource gives your students hands-on drag-and-drop practice exploring positional language, movement, direction, and early perspective skills.

Students build understanding of where objects are in space, how we move, and how perspective changes what we see — all through interactive, visual activities.

What’s Included:

 

⭐ Lesson Slides: Introduction to Positional Words (Slides 1–8)

Introduce and teach:

• What positional words are
• How to describe where objects are
• How to use positional words in a sentence

👆 Use these slides for direct instruction before independent practice.

 

⭐ Where Is the Puppy? (Slides 9–15)

Students:

• Look at the image
• Read or listen to the sentence
• Fill in the blank with the correct positional word

 

⭐ What Is It Behind? (Slides 16–18)

Students:

• Search for a hidden object
• Drag objects to reveal what is behind
• Identify where the object was hiding

 

⭐ Read & Move (Slides 19–25)

Students:

• Read simple sentences
• Move objects to match the description
• Build scenes using positional language

 

🧭 Movement & Direction

 

⭐ Lesson Slides: Movement Words (Slides 26–32)

Introduce and teach:

• How we describe movement
• Key movement words: forward, backward, left, right, towards, away
• Movement through modeling and demonstration

Includes interactive “watch and do” opportunities to build understanding through action.

 

⭐ Simon Says: Movement Practice (Slides 33–39)

Students:

• Follow movement directions
• Practice listening and responding to positional and movement language
• Engage in whole-body learning

Perfect for whole-group engagement and reinforcing direction-following skills.

 

⭐ Direction & Position Practice (Slides 40-54)

Students:

• Show use movement words and arrows to get from one point on a grid to another.
• Gradually gets more challenging starting with no obstacles, then one obstacle and finally two obstacles

For whole group and follow-up centre practice.

 

🧭 Perspective & Spatial Thinking

 

⭐ Perspective Slides (Slides 55-63)

Students:

• Explore different viewpoints (e.g., bird’s-eye view vs. worm’s-eye view)
• Look at how objects appear from different perspectives
• Build early understanding of spatial awareness and visualization

 

⭐ Determine & Cover (Slides 74-69)

• Simple follow-up activity to reinforce bird’s-eye and worm’s-eye view
• Students click and drag to cover the correct view

Curriculum Alignment (Ontario 2026)

This resource is aligned with the 2026 Ontario Kindergarten Math Curriculum, including:

• Positional language
• Movement and direction language
• Perspective and spatial awareness

Tech Tips:

• Use in EDIT mode (not Present mode) so movable pieces work
• If assigning in Google Classroom, students using iPads/tablets must have the Google Slides app installed
• You can also download the slides as a PowerPoint file to use on a SMARTBoard
