Let’s Learn Counting with Musky

You can enjoy counting with the help of a 1 to 10 thematic mat in a fun-filled way. Bring your friends along, spread the mat, and turn on the Musky. Make your Musky move from one block to another and ask each other questions like how many houses are there on the mat, what comes after 4, and so on. It is going to be a fun game. You will love your little Musky buddy moving from one block to another. It will make you learn counting too.

Teachers Note

The mat is designed to make children identify and recognize the corresponding number to each group of items given on the mat. When playing with Musky, the teacher can guide children to identify the object that is 1 in quantity and move the Musky in that direction. For example, there is 1 Sun, 2 houses, likewise, the child can first count the items/objects on the mat and then can move the Musky accordingly.

Here, the teacher has to guide children to create logic for the movement of Musky to a defined position. The game play can be made fun by introducing some number rhymes along with it. Also, small rewards like candies can be given to children to boost a sense of achievement when the child identifies the correct number and moves Musky to it.
