Instructions/ Directions and Requests
Welcome, Direction Detective!
Today you will practise listening to instructions and directions. You will learn how to follow steps in the correct order and how to move from one place to another.
Instructions or directions?
Instructions and directions are similar, but they are not exactly the same.
Instructions

Example: First wash your hands. Then open your book.
Directions
Tell us how to move from one place to another.
Example: Walk straight, turn left, and stop at the gate.
Useful words for directions
Direction words help us know where to go.
Listen and follow a process
Play the oral instructions. Then answer the question.
Put the process in order
Tap a step, then tap the correct position. This works better on phones than dragging.

How to follow oral instructions well
Good listeners do not just hear words. They listen for order and key details.
1. Listen for sequence words
First, next, then, after that, finally.
2. Notice action verbs
Turn, walk, place, open, write, stop.
3. Remember places
Gate, shop, clinic, road, school, library.
4. Ask politely
“Please repeat the last step.”
Write the directions you heard
Listen to the directions, then write them in your own words.
Final Challenge
Listen carefully. Then answer the questions.
Lesson Complete!
