    This is a perfect lesson for remote-learning. It involve video game design, which my students love, requires no materials and get’s them thinking about directions and visual orientation. My students will love it!

    What a great way to practice cardinal directions!! The labeling and moving according to the directions reminds me of coding. I would love to extend this by having the kids then built a prototype of their castle. Ohhh I can have them create a floor plan with cardinal directions and have them swap to label each others’ rooms!!
