Which Way to Go?

Using classic videogames and one country, practice giving directions to get to the objective

  • The objective of the game is to have the class practice directional phrases. Each level has a different theme, but all revolve around "turn left" or "turn right", "go straight", or "you can see it on you left/right".
  • The game is designed to run of just clicking, fool proof. Run it before hand to get used to when to click for characters to move smoothly

Level 1: Zelda
- The objective is to get Link to the shop to get a bomb and blow up a boulder
- Make sure to ask students "How many blocks?" to keep going. Its good practice

Level 2: Pokemon
- The objective is to get a pokemon to wake up the snorlax so you can progress to level 3

Level 3: Japan
- For this level, I was in Hamamatsu so I used a map from that area. Feel free to guide the Samurai on a map of your choosing
- The first goal is the Family Mart and the second is the Baskin Robins

      This is awesome, so creative! It took me a while to figure out the mechanics of making a PPT activity like this, but it really opened me up to try to apply these mechanics for other unit activities. Students got a real kick out of it!

      Hey Lucas, do you remember where you found the pixel art for those characters? I'm wondering if there is a database with characters that will walk around like this. Thank you ^^
