Learning Resources Crocodile Hop Floor Game - Early Maths

Learning Resources Crocodile Hop Floor Game - Early Maths

Active play gets muscles involved in the learning and movement is an effective way to learn. When kids jump and hop, they feel it in their muscles. When they use their bodies to learn, muscle memory supports cognitive development. Kids learn best when they combine mind and body. So take full advantage and help kids jump and hop their way to learn the basic fundamentals of shapes, colours, and numbers.

Roll the inflatable dice to reveal a colour shape or number and then skip, hop, or jump to the corresponding space on the floor mat. Place a marker down and move out of the way for the next player’s turn. The first one to get across the river wins! Playing together with friends helps children learn how to interact with one another. The mat is extra long, giving plenty of space, yet playing on the same path leads to room for negotiation, turn-taking, and learning how to share.
