"Square Hop Learning Game" combines movement, learning, and social interaction using the Calming Happy Squares Seating Rug. This game can be adapted for different subjects and age groups.

Here are several engaging variations:

Word Square Hop

• Place letter cards in different squares
• Teacher calls out a word
• Students hop between squares to spell the word
• For younger children: Use just 3-4 squares for short words
• For older children: Make it a relay race where teams spell longer words

Math Movement

• Assign numbers 1-20 or 1-24 to squares (one per square)
• Teacher calls out a math problem
• Students hop to the square with the correct answer
• Variations:
  • Skip counting: Students hop every 2nd or 3rd square
  • Addition/subtraction: Students hop forward/backward based on equations
  • Multiplication: Students count squares by multiplying numbers

Category Classification

• Designate squares for different categories (animals, plants, colors, etc.)
• Teacher shows a picture or says a word
• Students hop to the correct category square
• Make it collaborative by having students work in pairs

Musical Learning Squares

• Similar to musical chairs but educational
• Students walk around the squares while music plays
• When music stops, teacher asks a question
• Students hop to squares representing possible answers
• Those on correct squares stay in the game
