    Teacher's Instruction
    1. Teachers can conduct games by creating various paths and allow the Students to travel through those paths and reach the tree correctly.
    2. Teachers can make the Students play these games repeatedly so that they will learn about the directions thoroughly (left, right, straight).
    3. Before starting the game, the teachers should get the Students to specify the path of navigation, in a paper..
    4. Students can arrive at the solution by any method and need not necessarily follow the same method as is in the Solution.
