Make it a challenge by using a code:
- crossed sticks mean – don’t go this way
- a stick with a stone on the left means – go left
- a stick with a stone on the right means – go right
- a stone on top of another means – straight on
- a stone on top of another, with one on the right means – go right
- a stone on top of another with one on the left means – go left.
Take it further:
Create your own signs.
One person could lay out a trail and hide at the end, and wait for their partner or the rest of the group to find them.
