2. Name of activity Map reading and giving directions
Age of children and level 8-9 years old (3-4 Primary school)

Software used Power Point
Short description of the activity and how I
am going to carry it out in class
Children will use a simple map to give and
ask for directions to places in the town.
The teacher explains to the class in L1
that sometimes when we visit a town for
the first time we might not know where
places are. He /she invites them to tell
him/her how they might find their way
around using a map and asking someone
for directions. The activity works on
intrinsic values: children like getting
around their own town; it is also
integrative and instrumental: (very useful
if you get lost).
