Common misconception
Children can find it difficult to identify someone else's left and right if they are facing a different direction to them.
Encourage children to orient themselves so they are facing the same way as the person they are identifying the left or right side of. Experience in different ways that when someone is opposite you, their left side is the opposite side to your left.
