Where Will the Animals Go?
Thanks very much to Dorothy Crocker, who posted this game to the Guiding Mailing List!
Equipment:
- A picture of an animal for each player (or Brownies could bring in their favourite stuffed animal)
- Large cardboard "N"
Directions:
Use a compass to find north. Tape the "N" to the wall or floor. The leader calls out directions for the animals to be placed, e.g., "Will the lion please sit at northeast?" Continue until all the animals are in place. Then you can ask the players to suggest movements. "Paddington, where are you and where would you like to go?" The player with Paddington might say, "I'm down south and I would like to go northwest." Since only North is marked, the players have to figure out the relative positions of the other seven points.
