What makes good instructions?

What makes good instructions?

We are learning to write instructions for others to use and do. Yesterday we were in groups of three and we got a hurdle, two skipping ropes and a cone. We had to make an obstacle course and we had to use directions to guide that person threw the obstacle course.

What makes good instructions?
Precise language - numbers
Descriptive words - big, little
Directionality words - right, left and diadiadgonal
Appropritate verbs - run, step, jump
Consider audience - kids, adults
Detail - one instruction per step
