Directions

Anticlockwise, or counterclockwise is a circular direction around a central point, in the opposite direction to the way the hands on a clock turn. Anticlockwise goes towards the left.

Around is in a circular way. The dog in the picture has a scarf around his neck.

Something is behind you if you cannot see it - your back is facing it rather than your front. The tiger in the picture is behind a tree.

You bend something when you change it from being straight into a curve. Someone has bent the metal bar in the picture.

Two things are beside each other if they are next to each other, facing the same direction. The two women on the bench are sitting beside each other, or side by side.

Something is between if it is in the space in the middle of two other things. The cat in the picture is eating dinner between two dogs.

The bottom of something is the lowest point. The orange horse is at the bottom of the stack of toys.

The center of something is the midpoint, equally distant from all the edges. The vase of flowers is in the center of the table.

Clockwise is a circular direction around a central point, the same way the hands on a clock turn. Clockwise goes towards the right.

Corners are where two or more surfaces or lines meet, usually at right angles. A square has four corners, a cube has six, and a circle has none. The frogs are hiding in the corner of their tank.
