Keeping Score:

For every item on your scavenger-hunt list, you earn one point. Determine the second, third and fourth-place winners by adding up the total number of items found on the checklists.

How to read coordinates on a grid:

Coordinates are written with the x-axis number first and the y-axis number second (x,y).

When finding a coordinate, always start at the 0 point. Find the first number on the x-axis (horizontal number line) and then find the second number on the y-axis (vertical number line). The coordinate is the location where these two numbers meet.

If you have the coordinate (2,3), start from (0,0), move two places to the right and three places up.

If you have the coordinate (-4,6), start from (0,0), move four places to the left and six places up.

If you have the coordinate (-12,-6), start from (0,0), move 12 places to the left and six places down.

If you have the coordinate (20,-5), start from (0,0), move 20 places to the right and five places down.

Alternative Game Play:

Name the Coordinate

Follow the rules above, but play with the images on the cards instead of the coordinates. Instead of finding the location on the game board, name the correct coordinate that matches the image on your card. Flip the card over to see if you correctly named the coordinate.
