About Follow the Arrow

A big card shows an arrow, and your child answers by swiping the same way. A correct answer sends the card flying off in that direction, while a wrong one only makes it shake. The oldest players also meet dark cards that ask for the opposite direction.

How to play

  1. Swipe anywhere on the screen in the direction the arrow points.
  2. Or tap the matching arrow button below the card.
  3. On a computer, press the arrow keys or WASD.

What your child practices
