Resources
Ordnance Survey Map Symbol Flash Cards (http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/education-and-research/teaching-resources/map-symbol-flashcards.html)
Ordnance Survey Maps (1 per six)
Instructions
Divide the cubs into sixes and give each six an Ordnance Survey Map (ideally identical).
Show the cubs a symbol flash card.
The first six to find the symbol on the map and correctly explain its meaning gets a
point.
The six with the most points at the end of the game wins.
This can be made more complex by adding the requirement for the sixes to find the 6 figure grid reference of the grid symbol as well as the meaning to get the point.
