Learning Activity

center of the room and let

lines next to you to form a cross
“+”.
2. Designate one line of the
cross as “North.”

3. Designate the remaining
three lines the other
directions of the compass
(East, etc)

the room.

6. On your signal they are to
reform the compass at the
new location you have
selected, pointing themselves
in the correct directions of the
compass. (To make it more
difficult, stand in a doorway,
next to a wall, squat under a
table, etc.)
7. First line of the cross to get
in the correct position wins,
making sure they are all facing
their respective directions of
the compass.

Application
Ask the children to point to
north at a given signal. Check
who is right with the
compass. Then try to confuse
the youngsters by turning
round, going to a corner or
standing on a chair and
asking where north is from
those positions.

6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

Whatever position we are in,
a compass will direct us
accurately to north.
And wherever we are, Jesus
points us toward God.
