Counting 101 to 150 MAT

Falling & Flying Birds

One day, while standing with Mother on the balcony, we observed people walking, some returning home and others heading to the park. From our vantage point, we could also see several birds perched on a nearby tree. When my mother asked me if I knew how birds fly, I confidently replied that they use their wings. As we observed the birds, my mother challenged me to count how many were sitting on the tree. However, some birds flew away while I was counting, and I had to start again, but my mother smiled patiently as I continued to count.

Later that evening, I decided to play with my Musky kit and spread out the Falling and Flying Birds Mat. Playing with Musky, I learned not only counting but also more about the different types of birds that I had seen earlier on the tree. Even during dinner, I couldn’t help but share with my family how much I had learned with the help of Musky, and they were pleased to see me gain knowledge while playing with my new learning companion.

Teachers Note

This is an interesting way to teach numbers to children. Simple as it appears what we need to do is just simply play the falling and flying birds game. Let children sit in a group and turn by turn roll the dice and code Musky to follow the instruction given according to the number on the dice. Can be played by a single child as well as a group activity.

Teachers can easily teach number sequencing, concepts like addition and subtraction, concept of what comes before and what comes after with the help of this mat.

Simple and engaging activity to learn numbers and when a child finishes the game, a rhyme can be played for the children to learn and give a sense of achievement to the winning child.
