Directions 

Teaching Suggestions
 
Desk and Chairs:
Directions is a hard topic to study without moving around, so sliding the students' desk/chairs to the sides of the classroom is highly recommended.
 
Mimicking:
Despite Japanese students being treated like baby borgs, it's a well-known fact that students process information differently.  In addition to students repeating the target vocabulary, actually do the action and have the students mimic you.
 
Domo Arigato, Misto Roboto:
Pretend you or the HRT is a robot moving according to students' directions.  Have multiple kids try commanding the robot.
