Fido&Pumpkin Position Words

FIDO & PUMPKIN POSITION WORDS

Join in with Fido and Pumpkin as they discover what ‘position’ means, through a series of fun-filled animated adventures!

The bright, colourful animations and activities engage children in learning, while providing the satisfaction of instant feedback and the teaching of new positional concepts.

After watching an animation, the child is asked to answer a ‘position’ question. If they succeed with the correct answer they are rewarded. If they choose the incorrect answer, a new animation demonstrates where Fido or Pumpkin would be if they were in the position they have chosen, so they can compare and see the difference. For those who are not yet confident in reading, all answer options are fully audible.

So let’s jump into learning all about ‘position’!
