Directions: a game approach to teaching children how to navigate on the road

One of the important skills that children need to learn is road navigation. Knowing where right and left are helps them move correctly on city streets, as well as be more independent and confident in their actions. The Directions game can help you teach your child how to navigate the road correctly.

The Directions game is a simple outdoor game that can take as little as five minutes. It will help children remember how to move left and right. To play, you need to be on calm sections of the road and, of course, not in the middle of the highway. In the game, the child controls the movement of your car by giving commands left and right. If he raises his left hand and says "left", you turn left. If he says "right", you turn right.

If a child makes a mistake on a team, it's not a big deal. Just explain to him why he made a mistake and give him the opportunity to correct his mistake. For example, if he says "right" when he should have turned left, simply explain to him that he made a mistake and ask him to give the correct command. If he tells you to turn right, but there is no right turn in this place, then stop on the sidewalk, explain why the car cannot move in this direction, and give the child the opportunity to correct his mistake.

After several exercises, check whether the child, mentally repeating this situation, can give the correct command. If he can, congratulate him and try to make the game more difficult by adding new commands, such as "straight" or "backward".

The Directions game is a simple but effective way to help children remember how to go left and right on the road. It can be useful for children of any age and will help them become more confident and independent on the road.
