Orienteering

We introduced orienteering to the students today. All around the meadow, we had hidden some red poker chips, each with a unique symbol drawn on it with a permanent marker.

 After being reminded of the boundaries and the safe zone, students were asked to explore the meadow with a partner. The red markers were hung with a plastic tie at eye level. Students were asked to record the symbol for each marker that they found.

In future attempts, we plan to give students a map of the area, so that they can plot the location of the markers.
