How to play

  • Places – warm up with the words. Listen: Where's the bakery? – and tap the building.
  • Follow me – listen to one direction at a time and move Tom with the buttons: Go straight on, Turn left, Turn right. Left and right are Tom's left and right, not yours! At the end, tap the building.
  • Read the story – like a puzzle. Read or listen to the whole story, follow the route with your eyes and tap the place where Tom is. Then press Check and watch him walk.
  • Say it – now you give the directions. Tom wants to go to a place on the map. Say the way aloud – with the microphone or to a friend – and move Tom with the buttons. Then listen to a model answer.
  • Choose the level: A1 – turn left at the bank; A2 – take the second turning on the right, it's opposite the café; B1 – turn left at the place where you can borrow books.
