Orienteering involves running around inside an area with boundaries. The purpose of today's activities is to practice listening and learn the boundaries of the play area. Listening and boundaries are important for everyone to be safe during our activities, and so everyone understands the rules for all the games they will be playing throughout the semester. ## Warm-Up [(Active) Simon Says](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnavgames.force.com%2Factivities%2Fs%2Fdetail%2Fa2j1K0000014rMjQAI\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNExRwsjS_Zb7643us1MF1OqmNx38Q): Students practice active listening and active moving by playing an energetic game of Simon Says with the teacher. ## Main Activities: [Boundary Run](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnavgames.force.com%2Factivities%2Fs%2Fdetail%2Fa2j1K0000014rMyQAI\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNFMHsuAZWMy3pQgZ9cQFy2ZCWsLnQ): Run around the boundary of the play area. Make sure students respect the boundary, and do not cross out of the play area. [Fortnite Tag](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnavgames.force.com%2Factivities%2Fs%2Fdetail%2Fa2j1K0000014rMyQAI\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNFMHsuAZWMy3pQgZ9cQFy2ZCWsLnQ): Tag played within a shrinking play area. Students must remain within the area of play, even as the boundary shrinks. [Hot or Cold Secret Boundary Game](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnavgames.force.com%2Factivities%2Fs%2Fdetail%2Fa2j1K0000014rMyQAI\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNFMHsuAZWMy3pQgZ9cQFy2ZCWsLnQ): Communicate location using a very limited vocabulary ## Reflection Listening: * Why is it important to listen to the teacher? * Why is it important to listen to each other? * What should you do if someone is talking when you're trying to listen? Boundaries: * See reflection in the [Boundaries activity](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnavgames.force.com%2Factivities%2Fs%2Fdetail%2Fa2j1K0000014rMyQAI\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNFMHsuAZWMy3pQgZ9cQFy2ZCWsLnQ). ## Extra Activity Name games: Learn the kids' names. This can be as simple as "Tell us your name and your favorite animal," or more elaborate such as Duck-Duck-Goose, where the students say the names of other students as they go around ("Name-Name-Goose"). ## Notes Some of the students may find it humorous to test your patience and cross the boundary during some of the activities. Use this as an opportunity to firmly establish expectations in the class. If students cross the boundary even once (even if they're only joking), address the issue immediately. The rest of the year can be much more difficult if students believe they can freely break the rules and/or test your patience. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://navigation-games-2.gitbook.io/navigationgames/progressions/afterschool-progression/lesson-1-boundaries-and-listening.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
