This dot-to-dot game has a twist to it.
How it works: Students will place dots at the correct intersections, using their knowledge of reading map coordinates, before they can connect them.
Start by downloading a copy of the dot-to-dot coordinates game. This free download is available HERE.
Next, read the coordinates listed below and draw dots on each of the corresponding coordinates. It might be helpful to use a different color for each shape/picture in order to more easily distinguish between them.

NOTE: For a simpler, shorter version of this activity, simply leave off some of the shapes.
Once all of the dots have been drawn in, connect the dots in the order they were drawn. A few dots have already been drawn in so be sure to connect those as well. In addition, some lines and shapes have already been drawn in order to make the shapes and pictures more clear. Feel free to color in the pictures.
The completed activity should look something like this:
