Which way is it swimming?
Left and right are the two words children mix up longest — and a page of fish going both ways makes them look at every single one.
Look at the nose, not the color.
A left-and-right worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Pick a theme and a picture — or let it deal a different one each sheet — and the page fills with that one picture, some facing right and some facing left, in different colors and sizes so they look like a crowd rather than a row. The child counts how many go each way. Easy has a few pictures, most going one way; medium a dozen, close to half and half; hard twenty, smaller and turned a little. The answer key circles every one facing right.
1 token a sheet, fewer in batches.
