Front-Side-Behind

Observation game in which up to 30 different characters, front, side and back, they appear to complete the master elongated tabs.
PEDAGOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The educational content of this material is based on the LOGICAL and SEQUENTIAL
ASSOCIATION between each of the series of 3 photographs. The people represented in the
photographs can be clearly distinguished between each other by both their clothing and the
objects they are holding. They are easy for the child to identify, name and determine what they
do. The series recreate everyday people, such as a doctor, a ballerina, a chef, a motorcyclist, a
tennis player, etc., all of whom are familiar to the child. The series enable the child to become
aware of the different POSITIONS and DIRECTIONS OF THE BODY and thus aware of his or
her own BODY PERCEPTION (a fundamental concept for correctly acquiring LITERACY
SKILLS at a later date). It is also an excellent means of DEVELOPING LANGUAGE and
using the VERBS that correspond to the actions represented in the photographs.
The association of “from the front – from the side – from behind” by means of different
individuals develops an internal mental process that enables the child to establish a directional
relationship between the three positions, a basis for interiorising the same relationship in his/her
own body.
PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES:
– Incorporation and development of basic vocabulary.
– Encouraging logical thought processes and spatial-temporal reasoning.
– Acquisition of the ability to relate objects functionally.
– Interiorisation of the sequential order of things.
– Introduction to using abstract thought (acts as a basis for establishing mental
associations and taking the first steps from concrete thought to abstract thought).
– Development of a capacity for observation, whether of the objects themselves or their
characteristics and functions.
– Improving psychomotor coordination by handling the cards and putting them together
correctly
