    Here are some ideas for positional and directional work:

    a) Play games in which the squares on a grid are numbered or


    referenced by a letter and a number. Examples include
    Battleships and Treasure Hunt games.

    b) Play games where movement of pieces or markers is involved


    such as Snakes and Ladders and Draughts.

    c) Look at maps with grid references, particularly when going on a


    journey. Tell someone how to get to a particular place by
    describing the journey in terms of squares to be travelled and the
    four compass directions (eg. Move three squares east).

    d) Draw a map of a town or island and put on relevant features.


    Label the squares as in this module and refer to them when
    discussing the map.

    e) Tell or write a story using the words 'North, South, East, West,
    ascend, descend'.
