I used this game to teach students the four main directions (east, west, south, north).

Simply divide the class into groups of 4 students. Tell each group that each student must choose one fixed direction (i.e the first student chooses east, other chooses north..etc). Point to one part of the room and say "This is the north".

The groups should then organise themselves so that the 'north' child is also pointing north and the other children are all in the correct positions, pointing to the correct position. The fastest group is the winner!

This game could also be extended to include north-east / south-east / north-west and south-west (with eight children in each group).

Hope you like it. My students loved it so much. They had so much fun!
