Navigation Games Kits
Navigation Games offers instructional kits containing materials for four core activities. The kits were developed from years of working with Cambridge Public Schools and other educational settings.
What's in the Kit
Each kit includes materials for:
- Animal-O -- streamers with animal pictures, clue sheets
- Geometric-O -- pattern maps and colored landmark cones
- Basketball-O -- court maps for indoor orienteering
- Clothespin-O -- clothespins for checkpoint confirmation
The kit also includes activity descriptions covering the progression from basic boundary and exploration exercises through map-based orienteering, plus background on orienteering pedagogy and connections to national PE standards.
Items marked with the 
NG Kit badge on the Materials Index page are included in the kit.

Using the Kit with This Curriculum
The kit materials align directly with the first four activities in the Grade 3-5 lesson sequence:
| Kit Activity | Curriculum Lessons |

| Animal-O | Lessons 1-2 (Know Your Space, Match the Code) |
| Geometric-O | Lesson 3 (Map Readiness) |
| Basketball-O | Lesson A (Indoor Orienteering) |

For Score-O, Map Walk, and Point-to-Point (Lessons 4-6), you will need orienteering maps of your site. See Maps for how to get one.
