Montessori-Inspired Compass Rose Activities and Outdoor Compass Walks

July 14, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 7 Comments

Compass activities are perfect for summer (or whenever you have good weather for outdoor walks where you live). And compass walks are great outdoor learning experiences, ones that can be fun for the whole family.

Montessori-Inspired Compass Rose Activities and Outdoor Compass Walks

 

For today’s post, I enjoyed searching for free Montessori-inspired compass rose printables and activities along with ideas for outdoor compass walks. The compass rose printables can encourage some meaningful learning activities before a compass walk.

Outdoor Compass Walks and Variations

These aren’t specifically Montessori activities, but they fit perfectly with the Montessori emphasis on outdoor learning and spending time in nature.

    Thank you for these resources! The other day, my older son (6) couldn’t figure out why on one day (when we were on a train) I was saying that North was to his right while on another day (when we were at home) I was saying that North was to his left. Some compass activities might help!

      My pleasure, Rachael! Thanks for your comment. Compass activities could definitely be helpful in making sense of that tricky concept. 🙂
