Here are some ideas on how to use it, the only limit is your imagination!

Physical – Motor skills

Seek and find: Have the child sit on the elephant, tell them to put their hand on the giraffe, etc. Twister-type game: Tell the child to put their LEFT foot on the ostrich, their RIGHT hand on the tiger, their head on the zebra, etc. 

Affective skills 

Personal identity: teach them how to make choices, to take advantage of their strengths and to build their identity. For example, “Which animal represents you best?” “Do they have strengths and weaknesses?” “What are they?” 

Language 

Ask them questions and help them improve their pronunciation and their French-English vocabulary through role-playing games with the tablecloth. For example, “Which animal are you?” “Why?” “Can you describe what you know about this animal?” 

Cognitive 

Thought organization, categorization, justification and comparison: compare plastic or real animals with those illustrated on the tablecloth. What are the differences? Are the colours similar, the same or different? 

Socioaffective Thanks to the tablecloths, children can learn to play and interact with other children and adults.
