Where Questions for Kids
"Where" questions ask a child to name a place or location, and they help build vocabulary for prepositions like in, on, and under. They're an early wh-question type, usually learned soon after "who," and they're easy to practice around the house.
Around the home (easiest)
- Where do you sleep?
- Where do we keep the milk?
- Where are your shoes?
- Where do you take a bath?
- Where do we sit to eat?
Places you go
- Where do you go to learn?
- Where do you buy food?
- Where do we go to see animals?
- Where do doctors work?
- Where do you play outside?
Prepositions and position
- Where is the cat? (under the table)
- Where is the ball? (in the box)
- Where is the bird? (on the tree)
From pictures or stories
- Where is the boy going?
- Where did they hide?
- Where does the story take place?
How to practice: use real objects and hide-and-find games — put a toy under a chair and ask "where is it?" Answer with the child at first ("It's under the chair!") so they hear the place words. Use pictures for kids who aren't speaking much yet, and keep it playful. A few questions during clean-up or a walk work better than a long sit-down drill.
