Our free, printable directions worksheets divide attention equally between the eight points that aid in geographic orientation. Introduce children to the compass, a device that pivots to the magnetic north. Before long, they'll be able to locate the other directions relative to the north. Get them to push the limits of the four main directions, and understand the significance of the intermediate directions that lie between them.
These direction worksheets pdf are best suited for children in grade 1 and grade 2.
A neatly labeled diagram of a compass, showing the four main directions and the four intermediate directions, is sitting pretty at the center of this printable chart.
