Coordinate Graphing Game
Components:
150 coordinate location cards
4 pawns
4 scavenger-hunt checklists
Game board
This game features two levels of play. Level one uses the red side
of the game board and the red coordinate cards. This level focuses
on plotting points on a positive x-y graph.
Level two uses the blue side of the game board and the blue
coordinate cards. This level focuses on plotting points on a
positive and negative four-quadrant x-y graph. The game play
below is applicable to either level of play.
Object of the Game:
Plot your way through town and find ten items during a scavenger
hunt. When you find an item, add it to your list. The first player to
fill up the list wins!

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.

Scavenger Hunt
Create your own scavenger hunt. Make a list of items and
coordinates to which your teammates have to travel. Call out a
coordinate and see if your teammate can correctly find that location.
Play this game with two players or a whole group.
Do you see what I see?
Choose an item on the game board. Have a partner try to guess
this location. Ask yes-or-no questions. Questions can relate to
coordinate locations or specific characteristics of the game board.
For example: Is it in the positive quadrant? Is it an animal?
