Compass Skills Patience
Thanks very much to Bev Spillane, who shared this game with me!
You will need: sets of cards having the compass points printed on them.
The ten cards for each team are laid out randomly, face down on the table in front of them. One at a time the girls run up and turn over a card. If it is not the north card then they turn it face down again and run back to their team. The next player has a go. When the North card is turned up they can lay it face up at the front of the table. The next card needed is the South card and so on.
VARIATION: This game is played the same way as the previous game, but the time the girls have to place the cards at the correct position for that card. Suggested order for laying down cards: North, South, East, West, North-East, South-East, South-West, North-West, NNE, SSW, NNW, SSE, ENE, WSW, ESE, WNW.
