The British Orienteering Federation (BOF) presents a number of under the ‘Development > Weekly Club‘ section of their website. They provide activity instructions and printable sheets for these activities. Download, print and use!
The following activities, from BOF, can be used in a circuit or interval-training manner to incorporate fitness training elements. We recommend these ones:
- Two the same – there are six images of the same map on one page and on each something has been altered. Students must identify the two that are the same.
- Match the map – a ‘memory’ style game with small map cards that must be matched in pairs.
- Spot the difference – compare two images of the same map and look for 10 differences. In some features are made bigger or smaller or a different colour. In others featured have appeared or disappeared.
