Play games and recite rhymes that learners are familiar with to begin the lesson. Ask learners questions to review their understanding in the previous lesson.

Engage Learners in a warm up- directions. On the board, draw a rough map of the neighborhood, just a few streets and the school. Ask “where is the school?” Have learners to come to the map in turns and point it out. Ask learners to locate other landmarks on the map. have learners to draw and label your map. Introduce to learners the “directions vocabulary” That is ‘right’ and ‘left’. Teach and demonstrate their meanings to learners with the proper pronunciation. Ask learners to do some choral repetition. Call on learners to model pronunciation in order to check their progress on the level and do some quick comprehension test. Ask learners to “Turn right” or “Turn left” with a demonstration. Invite learners in turns and groups, by instructing them to “turn right, turn left” or “turn right, turn right, turn left” etc. The group that gets all directions correctly wins. Introduce to learners some “directional phrase” -turn right/left -go straight -you will see it on the right/left. -go across (the school, the park, the post office) -its next to (the school, the park, the post office) Guide learners to explain each of the phrase and lead some pronunciation practice exercise.
