Orientation

Track Mister X by bike using coordinates.

In very simple terms, the azimuth is the angular deviation between the north direction and a sought direction in the specified/required unit usually ° (degrees).

An entertaining village game in which the young warriors are sent to Jericho as scouts to solve tricky puzzles and gather important information about the city and its inhabitants.

The aim of the Technik-Sternli is to teach children age-appropriate Jungschart techniques. A signature run is a good opportunity to apply the content of the Orientation Zack at the Jungschi level.

Gameplay: The Jungschärler get the order (eg Wanted poster as a start) to look for the lost sheep. They then go from post to post until they find the sheep. At each post there is a leader in disguise. The children are each given a clue as to where the next post is and how to deal with that person to get information. If the specified criteria are not met, the leader does not give information!

Generally, the more leaders, the better. The listed variant can be expanded depending on the time budget and present leaders.

At the end, a big party can be celebrated!:)
