Flashcards/signs with the four
compass points.
Allocate sides of the room to the four compass points, teacher calls
out direction and children – who are standing- must turn to face the
correct way. Can get children “out” if they face wrong way or are
the last to face the correct way. The faster it is played the more
challenging (and fun!). Can ask more able pupils to take on role of
caller.
Children can repeat the words as they are called to practise the
pronunciation.
Introduce written word by using flashcards – can they label the
sides of the room accordingly – look for cognates. Talk partners –
can label on whiteboards first

vocabulary, phrases and basic
language structures.
