The children were given a map of their local area and asked to plan their own excursion. The exclusion needed to be set out step by step with proper geographical language such as the compass points, left, right, straight ahead. They also needed to schedule lunch and recess breaks.
I would probably start them off on the first point to model and let them take over from there. You could also use a big map on the interactive whiteboard to save on print outs- the last thing you need to do on a casual day is spend all your break time at the photocopier (especially when I already use at least half that time for marking). If you do however have time to run off some neighbourhood maps, it is handy for including a scale.
