Hi everyone,
Today we are going to have an Orienteering adventure. Orienteering is the science of making and read maps.
Follow the link bellow with an adult or same one that can help and after watching video one try to draw a map of your bedroom or garden or somewhere you know well. If you really confident, why not go to for the house or maybe your street?
Let’s Get Started Orienteering
Once you have your map try to hide a “treasure” mark it on your map and see if someone can find it. Then swap places, ask someone else to make a map or use your map and to hide a “treasure” so you can find it.
Why not make it a game? Hide your treasure and time each other to see who is fastest to find them.
Once you tried that watch video 2 and try to draw a course on your map. Ask for someone to follow your course and see if they can, then change places again.
Again, let’s make it a game. Let’s see who can follow the course the quickest, if you make a mistake you add 5 seconds to your time.
You can draw a course in your garden, your house or if you’re really brave go for a course around your street / neighbourhood.
Hope you have fun with Orienteering and next week we will have some orienteering games.
