Interactive directions worksheet for children to practice following movement instructions on a grid.

Let’s solve each direction problem step by step, starting from the “Start” position.

We’ll use a grid system to track movement. Let’s assign coordinates:

Imagine the grid has rows and columns. Let’s say:
- The bottom row is Row 1, then Row 2, Row 3, Row 4 (top).
- Leftmost column is Column 1, then Column 2, Column 3, Column 4, Column 5 (right).

Looking at the map:

“Start” is in Row 1, Column 3.

Now let’s go through each question:

---

1. Start, go forward 2.

“Forward” means up (↑), so we move up 2 squares from Start.

Start: Row 1, Col 3
→ Forward 1: Row 2, Col 3 → that’s empty
→ Forward 2: Row 3, Col 3 → that’s Pet Shop

✔ Answer for #1: Pet Shop

2. Start, go forward 1, left 1.

Start: Row 1, Col 3
→ Forward 1: Row 2, Col 3 (empty)
→ Left 1: Row 2, Col 2 → that’s Park

✔ Answer for #2: Park

3. Start, left 2, go forward 3.

Start: Row 1, Col 3
→ Left 1: Row 1, Col 2 (empty)
→ Left 2: Row 1, Col 1 (empty)
→ Forward 1: Row 2, Col 1 (empty)
→ Forward 2: Row 3, Col 1 (empty)
→ Forward 3: Row 4, Col 1 → that’s Toyshop

✔ Answer for #3: Toyshop

---

4. Start, right 1.

Start: Row 1, Col 3
→ Right 1: Row 1, Col 4 → that’s Hospital

✔ Answer for #4: Hospital

5. Start, forward 1, right 1, forward 2.

Start: Row 1, Col 3
→ Forward 1: Row 2, Col 3 (empty)
→ Right 1: Row 2, Col 4 (empty)
→ Forward 1: Row 3, Col 4 → that’s Bakery
→ Forward 2: Row 4, Col 4 → but wait! That square is empty? Let’s check again.

Wait — after “forward 1, right 1”, we are at Row 2, Col 4.

Then “forward 2” means:

→ Forward 1: Row 3, Col 4 → Bakery
→ Forward 2: Row 4, Col 4 → this square is empty? But looking at the grid, Row 4, Col 4 is actually where the School is? Wait no — let’s recheck positions.

Actually, let’s list all known locations with coordinates:

From the image:

- Toyshop: Row 4, Col 1
- Park: Row 2, Col 2
- Pet Shop: Row 3, Col 3
- School: Row 4, Col 4
- Bakery: Row 3, Col 5
- Hospital: Row 1, Col 4
- Start: Row 1, Col 3

So:

Question 5: Start (R1,C3)
→ Forward 1: R2,C3 (empty)
→ Right 1: R2,C4 (empty)
→ Forward 2:
- Forward 1: R3,C4 (empty)
- Forward 2: R4,C4 → that’s School

✔ Answer for #5: School

---

6. Start, forward 1, right 2, forward 1.

Start: R1,C3
→ Forward 1: R2,C3 (empty)
→ Right 2:
- Right 1: R2,C4 (empty)
- Right 2: R2,C5 → that’s Bakery? Wait — Bakery is at R3,C5.

Hold on — if we’re at R2,C3, then:

Right 1 → R2,C4
Right 2 → R2,C5 → which is empty? But Bakery is at R3,C5.

Then “forward 1” from R2,C5 → R3,C5 → that’s Bakery

Yes!

So:

Start: R1,C3
→ Forward 1: R2,C3
→ Right 2: R2,C5
→ Forward 1: R3,C5 → Bakery

✔ Answer for #6: Bakery
