This activity can be completed by a student individually, but working together in small groups (ideally 2-4 students in each) will
provide more practice with the target language as students negotiate the task and each persons input.
Instructions:
1. Print a blank map and set of rectangles/cards (on this page and the next24 in all) for each group.
2. Cut out the rectangles into individual cards and group together as a complete set with a blank map.
3. Give each group a set of cards and a blank map. Have them distribute the cards among themselves.
4. Instruct them to write in the names of each building on the map according to the directions on the cards.
[Note: If they have trouble, advise them to start with cards about the hospital.]
5. When the buildings have all been labeled, allow students to check their work against the answer key/map.
