Once the materials have been given out Ss are to line up
outside the classroom and then under supervision of their
teacher they will move to the activity area.

They will then be given a coordinate to start with (each groups
will have a different point. From there the Ss will follow the
directions at each point until they have collected all the points
and drawn the letters for each point.

Then they are to decipher the letters to find the word that they
create.




Ss who finish early can use the back side of their map to
create their own set of clues using positional points on the
map.

Ss are to form pairs quietly and to
move quietly to the door with their
hats.

Then Ss will move to the playground
where they will follow the
coordinates around the playground.

At no point should any S run.
