Where are we going?
Activity type: Giving directions
Time: 20–25 minutes
Preparation: None
Procedure: Have students form pairs. Explain that each pair is going to choose a destination near the school. They will then decide on a route to that destination and write down the directions, without naming the place. Encourage students to write clear directions that anyone could follow to reach the correct destination. Write the following models on the board:
Turn left at/on _____________________ Street.
Turn right at/on ___________________Street.
Walk along ___________________ Street for _____ blocks.
Walk up _____________________ Street for ______ blocks.
Walk down ____________________Street for ______ blocks.
Go for ________ blocks.
Go along ____________________ Street.
Go up ___________________ Street to ______________ Street.
Follow _________________ Street until _______________ Street.
It will be on your right/left.
You will find it on your right/left.
Give the students ten minutes to write their directions. Collect and redistribute the papers, making sure that no pair has their own directions. Give the pairs another ten minutes to follow the new directions and write down the destination they reach. When all the students are finished, tell them to find the classmates who wrote the directions to check if they found the correct place.
Option: Choose a popular tourist site. Using the school as a starting point, have students write directions to the site for a friend who is visiting from another city.
