Prior to sending this project home we've spent time in class learning about both cardinal and intermediate directions. I even do a PE Compass Rose Relay game. I set up directional signs in a circle formation, throw colored circles around and relay teams race to follow cue cards that says various things like:
Skip and pick up a green circle. Put it in the Northwest hoop.
Crab crawl and pick up a yellow circle. Put it in the South hoop.
High knee run and pick up a blue circle. Put it in the East hoop.
Once students have a solid foundation for their directions my grade level sends home this compass rose project
Here are some samples:

Sorry, I can't type today. I had to remove three posts for typos. I misspelled the name of my blog on the third post. I'm sitting in Louisiana listening to a hurricane outside. I guess I am a little distracted.
I start teaching cardinal directions next week. We will be doing this activity! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI would love to implement the relay game with my students! Do you happen to have a copy of instructions for that activity? I'd like to use it as a frame of reference.
