• compasses
• compass direction
• coloured ice cubes

Directions"

• Hide the ice cubes in locations that can be found by the compass directions
• Give the girls compass directions and a compass
  • have the directions going from different directions so that more than one girl (or team) can be out at the same time
• Have the girls note the colour at each station
• First girl or team that has found all the colours correctly is the winner

Compass Story

Directions:

• Make a large compass on the snow by using coloured water (water will freeze to snow)
• Compass shuld show the 8 main points (N, S, E, W, NE, SE, NW, SW)
