Directions Word Cards

The Directions Word Cards support students in learning and using vocabulary related to directions and positional language through clear, focused visual prompts.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these cards help students recognise, practise, and recall direction-related vocabulary in a structured and accessible way. The simple, uncluttered design supports confident oral language use during whole-class instruction, small-group activities, and independent practice.

How these cards are used

• Introducing and revising directions and positional vocabulary
• Supporting oral language practice and simple sentence-building
• Matching, sorting, and memory-style games
• Reinforcing direction-related language through repeated exposure

The visual format allows students to focus on meaning and recall, supporting retention through frequent, low-pressure practice.
