Orienteering is a great activity with broad-ranging learning outcomes in physical and STEM education, ranging from map navigation to physical fitness to collaboration with others.
Navigation Games is experienced in teaching lessons, leading activities, and designing lesson plans for use in schools by teachers and volunteers. Our preferred mode is to work with an empowered team of teachers and administrators to identify ways to add orienteering to PE and STEM curricula, and as a means to develop a stronger sense of community. We like to start off in a new school district with demonstration lessons for students, and an introductory workshop for teachers. Our aim is to rain teachers so that, with more time, they can teach independently without us.
We provide materials, instructions and staff to oversee the programs. You supply teachers and chaperones to work with us, manage the children, and participate in the activities. We work with you ahead of time to optimize the program for your school or district.
We visit your school district for a day of demo classes and teacher workshops. We will leave your staff with a plan and materials for incorporating orienteering into PE or STEM curriculum.
Learn how to orienteer, and how to teach it. In-person, hybrid and remote formats.
