Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practises using a community map: scale, the compass, intermediate directions such as north-east, why community maps help, the red cross symbol for a hospital, and what to do when lost. Fits indicator ส 5.1 ป.2/1.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, 3 options each - What does a map's scale tell you? (the ratio of map distance to real distance) - What is the direction between north and east? (north-east) - What does a red cross on a map usually mean? (a hospital) - What should you do if you get lost? (stay put and ask for help)
How to use it in class
Pair it with a school map or a simple community map you draw; the game takes about 7 minutes, solo. For the intermediate direction, have everyone point north, then turn halfway towards east. After the lost question, discuss who counts as a trusted adult and stress never getting into a stranger's car. If the scale question goes badly, measure a real desk and compare it with a scaled drawing on the board. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Scale is a hard idea for Grade 2; children may pick "mountain height" or "direction". Scaling down a real desk helps. - Intermediate direction: the close distractor "north-west" catches children who only remember "north". - Getting lost: the distractor "get into the car of someone who offers a lift" is dangerous; if any child picks it, talk it through clearly every time.
