It’s time to visit friends at the playground.Practice creating routes.

1 2Create this route first. Create this route. Place this next to

your first route.

18


3 4Create this route. Place it next to your other two routes.

Put KUBO on the first TagTile, at the bottom of each route, and watch what happens.

It’s time to visit friends at the playground.Practice creating routes.

19


It’s time to visit friends at the playground.Plan KUBO’s route.

1 2Join the TagTiles® together to make a route.

Put KUBO on the first TagTile® at the start of the route.

20


One of the entrances is blocked.Plan a different route to the playground.

3 4Make a new route for KUBO to follow on the activity map.

Answer the questions on the worksheet.

21


Reflection task

1 2Why does it not matter what way the TagTiles® are placed?

How could KUBO navigate from your home to your school?

22


1 2Make a new route to a different place on the activity map.

Have KUBO follow the route.


23


• Work with routes.• Build a route to take KUBO from a point on the activity

map to the school gates.

KUBO’s first day - Task 1LESSON 1 - Routes / Activity 3

KUBO is running late for school.Can you provide KUBO with the shortest route to the school gates?

1 2Make a route for KUBO from any part of the map to the school.

KUBO must end in either quadrant B6 or G6.

You must use all three types of movement TagTiles®.

B6/G6

TASKS 1, 2 AND 3

1 2What kind of route would you take to your school using TagTiles®?

How many TagTiles® do you think it would take you to reach your school from your house?

Reflection task

1 2Make a route for KUBO from the school bell to the gymnasium. You must use tiles to plan KUBO’s route. Put KUBO down on the starting tile and execute your route.

Make a route for KUBO from the school bell to the cafeteria. You must use tiles to plan KUBO’s route. Put KUBO down on the starting tile and execute your route.


31


• Use your body to follow routes you have memorized• Examine how this relates to how KUBO remembers

TagTiles by reading them

Activity 4 Remembering routes

Remembering routes - Task 1LESSON 1 - Routes / Activity 4

Be a robot and memorize a route.

1 2Get into a circle. Lay down a route with three

movement TagTiles®.

TASKS 1, 2 AND 3

3 4You have 30 seconds to memorize the route.

Walk following the route.


35



1 2Add three more tiles to the route. You have 30 seconds to memorize

the entire route.

3Walk following the route.


37



1 2Continue adding three tiles after each time you successfully walk a route.

Spend 30 seconds memorizing the route each time.

38



3 4Walk the route. Stop when you can’t remember the

route.

39


1 2What tricks or tools helped you remember the route?

How many tiles or steps were you able to remember?

Why do you think it was hard to remember more tiles or steps?

Reflection task

Assessment

Routes

• Demonstrate how Movement TagTiles® work.

• Make routes for KUBO to follow on the activity map.

42

Routes

Social studies:• Learn about cardinal directions and

use them to build and describe a route that KUBO could take on the activity map.

ELA:• Read a book about mapping skills and

write or draw a story about KUBO using a map to travel somewhere in the world.

Math/Science:• Compare the distance of two different

locations on the activity map and determine which route has more than or less than of quadrants.
