Description

A game to help re-enforce grid references after learning them through physical movement rather than working on paper.

Resources

Something to mark out a grid on the floor (string, canes, masking tape)
Paper and pen
Something to fix the paper to the wall with (tape, blutak)

Instructions

Mark a grid on the floor, making the squares quite large, the more Scouts playing at the same time, the larger the grid squares.

Write grid locations on the paper (00, 01, 02, etc) and affix where the grid intersects the wall (like the hut floor is a giant map). I like to use references that we commonly use on the OS map by our hut.

Call out 4 or 6 figure grid references and get Scouts to go to that location in the room. This could be done all together if there are few enough Scouts/large enough room, or a race between Scouts in different Patrols.
