MOVEMENT AND LEARNING: COOKIE MATCHING & COUNTING GAMES!

As part of our Brain Boosters: Active Learning Games for Kids series, Tools to Grow is excited to share two movement and learning games to get your kids moving while targeting early math skills, motor planning, fine motor coordination, upper extremity control, hand-eye coordination, and visual perceptual skills. Kids will love counting the chips … but be careful, don’t drop the cookies!

In the Cookie Matching Game, the child will do his/her best to transport each “Cookie” to the designated spot on the Cookie Game Sheet. The child is to match the cookie he/she is transporting to the corresponding cookie on the Game Sheet. During the Cookie Counting Game, the child is trying to do his/her best to transport each “Cookie” to the designated spot on the Number Game Sheet that matches the number of chips on the cookie being transported.

The mission of Tools to Grow is to provide valuable tools to therapists, educators, special needs teachers, and parents/caregivers to help with the most important job there is … helping children grow! At Tools to Grow, you’ll find affordable, high quality PDF files that can be instantly downloaded and accessed by members to target a huge range of skills.

Here at The Inspired Treehouse, we are big advocates of active learning for kids. To us, this means getting kids up out of those desks and inspiring them to move to learn!

This time of year, teachers, parents, and therapists everywhere are looking for new ideas to support active learning in kids, and we’re here to help! For the next several weeks, an awesome group of kids activities bloggers from all different backgrounds will be sharing their favorite movement-based learning activities for kids. New links will be added to the Brain Boosters series page as each post goes live week by week.
