Instructions

Preparation: Designate one wall of the play area as “North,” while the other three walls represent East, South, and West. Use coloured markers or cones to clearly identify each direction if needed.

Team Formation: Split the Squirrels into small teams.

Gameplay:
-The leader calls out a point of the compass (e.g., "North," "South").
-Teams must quickly run to the correct direction. Optional: The last team to arrive at the correct spot must do a fun forfeit (e.g. pretend to climb a tree).
-To keep it engaging, introduce additional calls:
a)"Compass Spin!": Everyone spins around in place.
b)"Compass on a Hike!": Teams walk around the room, pretending to hike.
c)"Compass Broken!": Everyone runs haphazardly in any direction.
d)"Compass Lost!": All teams must freeze in place.

Scoring: Grant points for the first team to arrive/complete action after each call. At the end of the game, tally the points to declare a winning team.

Winning: Continue the game for multiple rounds and celebrate the team with the most points at the end!
