other directions of the
compass (East, etc)

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.)

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.

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