• Aircraft

Have a 10 minute activity to do once you get outside because the device doesn't always pick up the satellites asap!

Careful not to get muggled!

She used Geocaching to teacher the staff about Big6.  They have a little booklet, stickers are in the cache for them to put in their booklet.

PE teacher - got Dr. Seuss books and all the caches had to do with books and there was a physical activity to go with it.
