The Caterpillar Fun Mat provides an enjoyable way for up to 9 children to acquire co-ordination skills whilst experiencing the benefits that mutual effort can bring in terms of group co-operation and bonding. The mat is 7 metres long by approx. 50cm wide (approx 24ft x 20”) and forms a continuous ‘band’. The principle involved in playing the game is similar to that for the track of a caterpillar tractor whereby several individual wheels revolve in unison to propel the tractor forwards: the individual participants represent the ‘wheels’ and, whilst standing on the mat and holding the mat above their heads, simultaneously move the mat with hands and feet to progress forwards (or backwards) as a group. The Caterpillar Fun Mat is particularly useful for schools, clubs and small groups of youngsters and will provide pleasure and exercise for youngsters of all ages. |
