Find the front of the line, where the flag is, and count from there: first, second, third. Stop at the place asked and see what's there.

Watch for: Counting from the wrong end of the line. Stopping one place early or late: fourth is 4 places from the front. Picking a picture that matches but sits in a different place.
At home: Line up toys or family members and ask who is first, third or fifth. Turn the line around and ask again.
