About Obstacle Course Part 3: The Map

The goal of this game is to turn a 3-D obstacle course into a 2-D map of the course on paper. You may use any objects of your choice. When children create their own maps, they are representing their 3-D worlds in 2-D pictures. This not only introduces them to math skills but social studies skills as well!
