I would love to start this in my Japanese schools here on Okinawa!

I would like to suggest that you inquire at your local college or university. Ours has a Geocaching Club which has purchased several GPSr’s that the community may check out for use much like a library book.

I’ve been using it in my homeschooling for a few years. Glad “schools” are catching on.

I bought a couple of those Geomate Jrs. for my class and divide the kids into teams, along with the geocaching ap on the iPhones. My kids are completely hooked and even have their families involved on vacations, etc.

A four square court that is less than 1000 square centimeters? Is this school in Lilliput?

Great ideas. I love the real-world measurements!

You may want to ask around your district (science or social studies curriculum, or the tech people) to see if your district owns some GPS’s. I was surprised to find out that our district owns a set of 10, which they loan out to teachers. We have to drive to the district office to pick them up, but it’s better than trying to come up with my own.

I have 6th grade and many of my students have iPhones and there’s a geocaching enabled app. I’ll bet if I asked, they’d all want to put it on their iPhones…..

Just think creatively.
