Left

key notes:

Understanding “Left”:

• Explain that “left” refers to the direction opposite of “right.”
• Demonstrate the concept by using hand gestures, showing students their left hand.

Left in Daily Life:

• Teach that when we turn or move to the left, we are turning in the opposite direction of where the right hand points.
• Use examples like “left turn” while walking, driving, or in games.

Left vs. Right:

• Teach students the difference between “left” and “right” by showing them visual aids (pictures or drawings).
• Ask students to raise their left hand to help them identify it.

Using Left in Navigation:

• Teach them how to follow directions using left, such as “turn left at the corner” or “walk straight and then take a left.”

Practicing with Simple Activities:

• Have activities where students practice left turns in a classroom or playground (e.g., “Turn left to reach the desk”).
• Use songs or rhymes that emphasize left and right.

Left and Positions:

• Introduce positional terms like “left of the door,” “on the left side,” etc., to help students relate left to spatial awareness.

Games for Reinforcement:

• Use simple games like “Simon Says” where students follow left direction instructions (e.g., “Simon says, touch your left foot”).

Left and Right Handedness:

• Explain that some people are left-handed, meaning they use their left hand more often, while others are right-handed.
