Directions Themes Cards

The Directions Theme Cards support students in learning and using vocabulary related to directions and positional language through structured, theme-based visual prompts.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these cards group direction-related vocabulary into a clear, meaningful context. This helps students make connections between words and spatial concepts, supporting recognition, recall, and confident oral language use during whole-class instruction and guided practice.

How these cards are used

• Introducing directions and positional vocabulary within a clear theme
• Supporting oral language practice and simple sentence-building
• Sorting, matching, and classification activities
• Revising and consolidating direction-related language

The themed presentation helps students organise positional vocabulary conceptually, strengthening retention through repeated exposure and structured use.
