Where Would I Be If…?

Give descriptive clues to help children practice inference of familiar places and settings.

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Charlotte Cushman and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, 1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

For students who learn primarily through rote memorization, it helps to practice analyzing information to draw appropriate conclusions. This activity works on that, as well as answering “where” questions, all of which increases language comprehension skills. Lessons include Concept Development, English Language Arts, Social Skills and Independent Living Skills.

None required

Ask students to tell you where you would be if…

Hint: Have students practice following directions on mobility routes around school and in the community.
