Directions - Following Directions

This quiz addresses part of the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2 in Geography. Specifically it looks at following directions and understanding positions. It is one of 50 quizzes to help you understand the world around you.

Do you know your left from your right? It can be confusing! To find their way around, people use maps and they ask questions. People ask for directions. Have you ever been told the positions of things without understanding what was meant, so you could not find them? Has your Mum or your Dad ever asked you to go and fetch something from your room, and told you how to find it? This quiz is all about being given directions, and then following them.
