Find east and west by observing the sun in the morning and afternoon. Observe north and south, and label the classroom walls. Add the north and south labels to the classroom walls: Use a compass, or a compass app on a smartphone or tablet, to show north and south and reinforce east and west. Have students line up the E and W on the compass with east and west labeled on the wall. Ask them to point toward the N, and explain that this direction is north. In areas where there is snow, teach north and south by observing where snow melts faster: the south side of buildings in the northern hemisphere.
North and south can also be observed with wind patterns. Track the weather using the provided Weather Channel website, and look for opportunities to take the students outside when north or south winds are blowing. Practice using cardinal direction s.

Move the familiar animal to a different spot in the room each day. Have students write the location of the animal using cardinal directions. Over time this could be expanded to other locations in the school or playground where N, S, E, and W are labeled.
Show students the variety of ways that maps show the cardinal directions. On local, state, or country maps, look for the compass rose or the north arrow.
Help students determine which way north, south, east and west are on those maps. Place the maps flat on a surface to reinforce the true directions.
