interlocking foam floor mats possess plenty of potential for educational and recreational purposes. Mats like these are perfect for rainy day indoor play. They’re perfect for a fun game of hopscotch. Any child over the age of 3 can play this game.
Put the numeral one down first, then place the next two numbers atop it and adjoining each other. Four goes by itself above two and three but lying so it is centered, and then five and six go side-by-side again on top of that. Keep laying out the numerals in this fashion, proceeding until the hopscotch grid is complete. Once it’s ready, the first player throws their beanbag into square one. The goal of the game is to land on every marked square while omitting the one that contains the beanbag. When a player doesn’t step inside the right box, or accidentally steps on a line, they end their turn. When someone reaches the end, they win!
Teamwork is essential in the alphabet game. Simply remove the letters from the tiles and conceal them in various places around the play space. Tell the kids to find the missing letters and place them back into their proper spot. You can have groups look for a different set of letters. One group can look for vowels, for instance, while other groups look for certain consonants. You can make up other games to play as well, such as spelling out their name or initials.
