Where do you want to go? (Scratch game)

A directions giving game

This game was not made by me but another ALT I have worked with. I found it useful and wanted to share since it wasn't here already.

This game is to practice giving and receiving directions.
Basically the game software is just and interactive map. you can drag and drop different locations onto the map and move the person by pressing the arrow buttons and space bar. Student can build their map and then ask their partner where they want to go and give directions.
I used it as a pair activity where student A asks "where do you want to go?". then they put student B's answer on their (student A's) map and give student B directions to where they put that building. Then student B, after arriving at the right spot puts it on their map and then the two students change roles. this goes on until time ends (your choice). At the end of the activity both students should have the same map built on their tablets. It was a lot of fun.

I have attached the game file as well. This game file will only work with scratch software. Some schools have blocked internet access to scratch because they have downloaded the scratch laptop/tablet application for students to use. My school does this. I just share the file with the students and they are able to open it with their tablets through the game application. (clicking on the file as is will not open it. You have to open the scratch app software and upload through its system)
