My Position and My Route

Children learn the words geographers use to tell where things are (above, below, beside, between, in front of, behind), sort out left and right on their own bodies and for a friend who faces them, and then tell a route in order with a start, landmarks, turns and a finish. A garden robot shows that turning left or right depends on the way you face.
