A step-by-step guide to play the game

Attach the two identical magnetic panels on opposite sides of the mobile school or far away from each other. Play the game with two players.

Each player stands in front of one panel, but cannot see the panel of the other player on the opposite side.

Player one places two bottle caps on his panel at different locations.

He must then describe to the other player how to get from the first location to the second through the city. The second player needs to orient himself in the city and follows the instructions of the other player to find the correct route from one bottle cap to the other. If player one communicated the instructions clearly, and player two followed the instructions correctly, their bottle caps should correspond to each others on the scene.

The players verify the result by comparing the locations of their bottle caps.

Change roles and play again.

Variations

Encourage the players to expand their orientation vocabulary by giving them certain words they MUST use like left, right, before, after, next to, behind, blocks, past, traffic lights, etc. You can also give them words they may not use.
