Closer, further or same?

This game involves taking turns with your child to ask questions about predicting the distance between yourself and other objects in your backyard or local environment.

For example, you might stand in your backyard between the garden bed and the clothesline.

Say – ‘Am I closer to the clothesline or the garden bed?’

Other possibilities might be, ‘Am I further away from the house or the back fence?’

Your child can check their predictions by measuring with their footsteps.
