We had fun this morning playing a grid game to finish off our work on mapping/grids/scale drawings.

First we had to rule up a grid on the page where 1cm: 1 km(or you could use grid paper!)

Add seven checkpoints and start and finish squares. Label these A-G

Players must travel to each checkpoint in order, driving only on the grid lines.

Now get a die and some highlighters ( a different colour for each player :) )to begin playing.

1. Roll the die and move that many kilometres towards the first checkpoint. A number 5 = 5cm (5km)

2. Player 2 then rolls the die. Continue until both players reach the finish

3. Players count how many kilometres they travelled from start to finish

Scores: First to finish: 10 points

               Player who travelled the shortest distance: 10 points

Have a play and let us know what you think :)
