Following Directions
Up, down
round and round;
north, south
homeward bound.
Left, right
make a turn;
front, back
tyres burn.
In, out
read the map;
east, west
wear a cap.
Under, over
climb all day;
keep up or we’ll
lose our way.
Follow the leader,
complete the task;
if we get lost
we can always ASK!

Julie says: Following directions is a key skill for children starting school. This little poem attempts to help kids understand key concepts and reassure that help is always at hand.
A fun poem Julie.
