# Key Ideas

## Warm Ups

### Boundary Run

(From Erin Schirm, Orienteering USA coach)

At the beginning of an activity, run the boundary with the group so that the limits of the play area are clear.

### There and Back Again

(From AOA's Orange Marks The Spot)

Set up cones or identify objects in the NSEW directions; call out a direction and have the group move in that direction, as a warm-up.

## Introductory Activities

### Animal Orienteering

(observed in Europe by Andrea Schneider and David Yee)
