Compass "pointers"

My oldest son is on a class trip at a residential camp about 45 minutes away near Sauratown Mountain. One of their activities tomorrow is orienteering. I let him take a compass and tried to show him how to read it. I remember as a kid that I just didn't get reading a compass. I finally got it when I had to, as an adult navigating lakes in the Minnesota Boundary Waters area using a map and compass; fortunately, it worked and my husband and I didn't get lost (unlike other road travels).

Anyway, I wondered if there were any compass games and I found this site. Maybe this will help teach the compass-reading concept.
