Owly walks square by square through a grid to reach the goal.
The arrows tell you the direction, one step after another.
Right and left move you to the side, up and down move you up and down.
Example:
Start at the bottom left, then right, right, up, right.
That is how Owly finds the path to the goal, the line shows the answer.
Example
What does this exercise practice?
This task practices position relationships and orientation in a grid. Children turn direction words into movements while keeping track of their position, a foundation for spatial thinking.
Common pitfalls
Children mix up left and right or forget which step they are on. It helps to put a finger on the current square and only move on once the step is clear.
How to practice at home
Play robot: one person names directions like right, right, up, the other walks them out in the room. Does the path reach the goal? Then swap roles.
