Winner gets to count and call out directions for the next round. When only 4-6 students are left, have them try to split up to separate directions (only 1 or 2 at a place) so they won't all be knocked out at once and to determine a winner. Teacher covers eyes and counts out again, students move quietly to a new direction. Those students return to their seats and watch as the game is played again. Teacher calls out one direction and whomever is there, is out. Teacher starts by covering her eyes and counting to 10 or to 100 by tens and students must all go to one of the four places.

Lori Johnson - A fun extension for this is to label your classroom with north, south, east, west and play '4 Corners'.

If they turn the wrong way or hesitate too long they're out and have to sit down.

Once they've got the idea we get faster and I shout out random directions. I take them through the 90 degree turns - east, south, west.

They all have to stand facing me which is north.

Jane - I play the 'Direction Game' with my students.

Here are some suggested variations / extensions from visitors to Teaching Ideas: This game could also be extended to include north-east / south-east / north-west and south-west (with eight children in each group). The groups should then organise themselves so that the 'north' child is also pointing north and the other children are all in the correct positions, pointing to the correct position. Point to one part of the room and say 'This is the north'.

Tell each group that each student must choose one fixed direction (i.e the first student chooses east, other chooses north.etc). Simply divide the class into groups of 4 students. I used this game to teach students the four main directions (east, west, south, north).
