Movement Games Family Kit

Dance, jump, clap, crawl, search, and draw! All of the games in this kit get children moving while they are learning math skills. For example, in the Obstacle Course games, children crawl under the table, step over the pillows and walk around the bookshelf to practice connecting spatial words to movement. In the Jumping on the Lilypad game, children roll a die and then jump that number of spaces along a number path on the floor (or jump a toy frog along a tabletop number path) to be the first to land in the pond! In Dance Patterns, children create patterns like stomp, clap, stomp, clap, stomp, clap—and try to extend or copy other people’s patterns. In Shape Dance, children dance around shape outlines and when the music stops, they find and stand on the shape that is described. In Shape Hunt, children use clues to find a shape that matches—Which shape has no corners? A circle! The games will engage students in active play while learning key math concepts.

Includes Teacher Guide, Math Minibook and all the materials needed to play. Teacher Guide provides an overview of the research behind the games along with easy-to-follow directions to each game and QR codes that link to videos about how to play each game as well as the mathematical concepts covered. The Math Minibook complements the games with short stories and play-along activities that teachers or families can read and color with the children.
