Put your hands on the middle of your desk on the side farthest from you.
That part is the back of your desk.

Think which is the front of your desk. Put your hands on the front of
your desk.

Who sits on your right hand? On your left? At the desk in front of you?
At the desk behind you?

Turn round. Who is on your right now? On your left? Before you? Behind
you?

Turn again. Who is now on your right? On your left? Before you? Behind
you?

NOTE.--Lead children to see that the terms _right, left, front_, and
_back_ are of little use in telling the position of places, and that
some fixed standard of direction is necessary.

If I should ask, "Which is the way to your home?" who could tell me what
I mean?
