Christmas Orienteering Game

This game will last approx 30 minutes depending on the speed and team work of your pupils. Can be set up inside a school hall or outside on a playground or school field. You may wish to laminate the ppt pages once printed. Pupils can play either individually, in pairs or small teams.

How to play:

1. Give pupils a starting answer (left words) and they write this down on their sheet of paper (clipboards optional). Give these randomly to avoid pupils following each other round.
2. Pupils find their starting word on the left hand side and look to the right for their next clue word. Remind them that it is a race so they may want to run.
3. Once answer word is found they need to write this down then look to the right hand side for their next clue word.

You may wish to get pupils to come back to check their answer order with you every 5 words or so to ensure they are doing it correctly.

Pupils have completed the game if they complete the list of 35 words in the SAME order. There is only one correct order and it will work for all pupils/teams.
