Phase 1

The teacher explains that every object has a place in the space and it’s in relation with the surrounded objects. She/he asks the children to make examples with the objects they have on their desk: the red pencil is on the pencilcase, the blue notebook is on the right of the red one, the rubber is under the pencil sharpener ans so on.  The children can propose new relations.

 Phase 2

In the yard the teacher asks the children to observe the objects that are around them. They have to create relations between them: on/under, right/left.

The children are divided in two groups: one will pay attention on the relation on/under, the second on the relation right/left. Every child has to choose two objects that are in relation and draw them on a A4 sheet.

phase 3

In class everyone reports the experience and all together children create a billboard with their drawings (the billboard will be divided in the previous categories on/under, right/left).

Phase 4

Discussion about the task.

The teacher asks the children to create new relations using the objects represented on the billboard.
