Complete different tasks at the farm with every correct answer, from planting seeds to growing and collecting fruit, fixing tractors and mending fences. A farmer’s work is never done! With every successful response, students help bring the farm to life and keep things running smoothly.

In this version, students use a map of the farm to answer questions about the location and direction of different animals using compass directions. From identifying which animal is north of the barn to figuring out what lies west of the duck pond, students apply spatial reasoning and directional language in a fun and purposeful context.

Let’s Farm – Farm Compass Directions is perfect for Year 2–4 students learning to describe position and interpret maps. Use it during your measurement or geography unit, in maths rotations, or as a fun independent task using the QR code.
