Healthy and Unhealthy Mat

Eat Healthy, Stay Strong!

Shreya had a strong liking for fast food items such as burgers, chips, and pizza, along with cold beverages. Despite her mother’s repeated warnings about the unhealthy nature of such foods, she never paid any attention.

One day, while attending her school class, Shreya complained of stomach pain. Her teacher promptly took her to the sick room, where the doctor inquired about her eating habits. Shreya confessed that she consumed fast food and seldom ate home-cooked healthy food. The doctor sternly warned her to avoid junk food, as it could lead to hospitalization. After providing her with the necessary medication, the doctor sent her back home. Shreya kept crying and promised her mother that she would only consume healthy food from then on.

To lift Shreya’s spirits, I took out the Musky kit and laid out the healthy-unhealthy food mat. Shreya was thrilled to join in, and we both rolled the dice and had fun playing with Musky. The mat had several blocks, each marked with numbers ranging from 51 to 100, making the game even more exciting. Shreya promised me too that she would always choose healthy food options.

Teachers Note

Learning numbers can be a tedious and dull task for children. However, to make it exciting and effortless for them, we have developed a fun game that incorporates the concepts of general awareness and numbers.

The game involves playing with healthy and unhealthy food concepts, and children can play it either individually or in groups. To play, children take turns rolling the dice and controlling Musky’s Movements based on the number on the dice.The game teaches children about number sequencing, addition and subtraction, as well as concepts such as before and after.
