Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Today we are learning three little words that tell where something is. They are in, on and under. Let's help a playful cat find some fun hiding spots!

First, the word in. In means inside something. Look, the cat is in the box. The box is all around the cat. We say the cat is in the box.

Next, the word on. On means on top of something. Now the cat is on the box. It is sitting up high, resting on the lid. The cat is on the box.

Now the word under. Under means below something. Look, the cat is under the table. The table is over its head. The cat is under the table.

Let's use where words with things at home. The book is on the shelf. The socks are in the drawer. The ball rolled under the bed. These words help others find things.

Here is a trick. Use your hand and a cup. Put your hand in the cup. Put your hand on the cup. Put your hand under the cup. Your body learns the words too!

Now it's your turn. A little bird is sitting on top of a tree branch. Is the bird in, on or under the branch? Pause and try. The bird is on the branch!

Great job! In means inside, on means on top, and under means below. Use these words to tell where things are. Practice in, on and under in the English Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
