Introduction of Photo-Orienteering
The teacher tries to find both visible and less visible objects in the school yard. A lone tree or a detail of a tree, part of a house, a detail in the form of a drainpipe, a little thing on some play equipment etc. It is only your imagination that limits the creativity. The advantage of ”Photo-O” is that you avoid putting out control markers because the object is already selected as a photo. The exercise can be conducted as a planned activity or as a spontaneous event. The task is to connect each control with the right photo. The control is positioned in the center of the red circle on the map. Fill in the answer sheet with the relevant control location number. |
