MAT MAN
I love using Mat Man in my pre-k classrooms.
Mat Man, by Learning Without Tears, is such a quick and fun activity that you can use with the kids to help teach important readiness skills such as drawing, pre-writing, counting, building, socializing, sharing, and body awareness.
I love to use it and incorporate language concepts like body parts, and concepts.
You can download it here for free!
Here is a video for information on Mat Man.
This is the video I use in classrooms when I do Mat Man.
When I do Mat Man with kids preschoolers I pair it with the Opposites book. It is a nice language addition to the activity.
