OS Map Games - Bakewell and Wirksworth Peak District

This bundle contains two OS Map games to play with OS Explorer Map 24: The White Peak District.

Important: You will need a copy of OS Explorer Map 24: The White Peak District to play this game.

Cluedo meets OS maps in these whodunnit games!

In pairs or teams, students must use the OS map check the character alibi statements. The goal is to find out which two characters are telling lies. Each statement will include a 4 figure grid reference and an OS map symbol for the students to check.

Each game contains: 5 sets of character cards, each with 12 statements. Your students will therefore have 60 grid references and map symbols to check in each game, but you can reduce the number of characters for a quicker game.

The areas around both Bakewell and Wirksworth covered by these games are both approximately A3 in size so you can fold the map to a manageable size for your students. Due to the size of the map, you can also leave it open on a desk and two teams can play the different games at the same time.

This is a great resource for KS3, KS4 and KS5 OS map skills, particularly if you are doing a case study on the Peak District or are looking for a productive end of term activity.
