The giant game floor mat can be used for a variety of activities in group time, in a learning center, or as an early-arrival activity. Consider preparing a
fall activity to use during this time of the year.
Spread the game mat on the floor or hang on the wall using Command Hooks®—four holes are provided on one side of the mat.

- gift bag and matching set of pictures (for game in illustration)

Instructions:
1. Gather matching fall pictures.

4. Consider the following ideas for the pockets:

Teaching Tips:
- Talk about fall to introduce the game. Call attention to the pictures in the
pockets. Explain that matching pictures are in the gift bag.
- Ask a child to reach in the bag and choose one item, and then place it on the
matching picture on the game mat.
- Continue playing the game until all pictures have been matched.
- Include conversation about things to see, smell, taste, and touch in the fall.
To emphasize hearing, mention sounds of the wind blowing or footsteps on
a pile of fall leaves.
- Open the Bible to Psalm 74:17 and say: “The Bible tells us that God made
summer and winter. God also made the fall. Thank You, God, for the fall.”
