He/she will be in the hallway with the door shut. 2. The teacher will pick the “spy” and the “navigator.” 3. The teacher will have 007 enter the city where he/she will begin looking for the spy. He/she may ask for directions from the navigator only 4 times. The navigator will give either intermediate or cardinal directions. 4. 007 may only guess who the spy is 4 times. 5. When the turn is complete, the spy will then be the next 007. 6. Continue playing until all have had a turn being either 007 or navigator. Observation: What do you notice when you play this game?
