We were so excited when primary school teacher and BrainPOP fan, Jen Deyenberg, did a geocaching guest blog for us last year. And we got even more excited when she created a Moby cache!
Can you imagine how thrilled we were when she agreed to create some activity sheets for our Finding Your Way Spotlight?!
All around the world there are local words for wind. The intent of the activity is for students to learn about different parts of the world by exploring wind. They will also explore their school grounds for the various wind words using handheld GPS technology.
If you haven’t tried geocaching with your students before, Jen’s “Blowing Your Mind” activities might just be the nudge you need to give it a go. Geocaching is a great excuse to get outside!
