Here's the correct matching of the directional words to the pictures, with explanations for each:
---
✔ 1. "turn around" — matches with the
U-turn arrow (top left)
> *Explanation:* A “turn around” means to make a complete 180-degree turn, which is exactly what the U-shaped arrow shows — you start going one way and end up going back the opposite direction.
---
✔ 2. "turn right" — matches with the
right-angle right arrow (second from top on left)
> *Explanation:* This arrow clearly bends to the right, indicating a 90-degree turn to the right — that’s “turn right.”
---
✔ 3. "go straight" — matches with the
vertical upward arrow (third from top on left)
> *Explanation:* The arrow points directly upward with no turns — this represents continuing in a straight line, so “go straight.”
---
✔ 4. "take the second left" — matches with the
left arrow that has a small red square before it (fourth from top on left)
> *Explanation:* The red square likely represents the first intersection or point. After passing it (“go past”), you take the next left — hence, “take the second left.” The arrow shows a left turn after a small marker.
---
✔ 5. "turn left" — matches with the
right-side picture: left-angle arrow (second from top on right)
> *Explanation:* This arrow bends sharply to the left — that’s a classic “turn left” instruction.
---
✔ 6. "cross" — matches with the
upward arrow over two horizontal lines (top right)
> *Explanation:* The two horizontal lines represent a road or path, and the arrow going over them means to “cross” — like crossing a street.
---
✔ 7. "go past" — matches with the
simple upward arrow with a red square beside it (third from top on right)
> *Explanation:* The red square represents an object or landmark. The arrow goes straight by it — meaning you “go past” it without turning.
---
✔ 8. "take the second right" — matches with the
right-side picture: F-shaped arrow pointing right (bottom right)
> *Explanation:* The “F” shape suggests you go forward, then at the second possible right turn (the top bar of the F), you turn right. So it visually represents “take the second right.”

✔ Tip for Kids:
Look at the arrow’s shape and direction — does it bend? Which way? Does it pass something? Go over something? That tells you the word!
