How we play:
Place four signs on each of the four walls, one is bow, one is stern, one is starboard, one is port. We also have four other signs below these, North, South, East, and West. Teacher is the caller to begin the game. When teacher calls out North all players must run to the North wall and stand on that sideline. Same for each of the directions and parts of the ship.
