A-to-Z Letters Mat

Let’s Learn Letters with Musky!

Yesterday, our teacher taught us ABC…..Z in class. I asked my friend Anirudh to come to my home to play with me. I opened my Musky Kit and showed it to my friend. He was excited to see the kit. My mumma was sitting with us to see how we played with Musky.

On the mat, we saw some objects, animals, fruits and more. I turned on the Musky and kept it on the ‘Go’ block. Anirudh asked me to take Musky to the letter Rr. My mother asked us what starts with the alphabet R. Radish, Rabbit, and Rose, and I said excitedly! I then moved Musky to the letter Gg. G for Grapes, Giraffe, Guitar, and Girl said, Anirudh. It was such a fun activity and we learned the alphabet and things that start with different alphabets. We loved playing the game and after some time Anirudh went back home.

Teachers Note

The mat is designed to teach children alphabets. Its sequencing and the words that can be formed with the respective letters. The mat is designed in a playful manner where there are certain blocks labeled as skip a turn. Depending on the age group, the mat can be used as a dice rolling game where the child rolls the dice and moves Musky according to the number on the dice and identifies the letter they reach.

Now depending on the class it is being used in, the game can be simplified or made complex by adding multiple options with each move. Like naming words with the letter reached, following the entire sequence of letters. Skip turn can be used when played in a group where a child who reaches that block has to skip the next chance. This is the best way to teach children phonics as well.

Let the children have more fun by adding some rhymes to the gameplay. During play, children tend to learn more with better retention.
