Little children start by learning sequences and not arrows. Through sequences, players have to bring the fire truck into the game to put out the fire. The sequences are easy to learn, especially if they have not yet learned orientation from the arrows.
Moreover, after learning sequences on the road sections in the game, children will be introduced to arrows. These will enable them learn direction by moving and driving the truck.
