- Manage mixed-ability groups with confidence
- Reduce disruptions through predictable, engaging play
- Maintain group flow with clear, consistent structures
How it supports classroom learning
Builds strong developmental foundations
- Sensory & motor readiness
- Communication & early literacy
- Cognitive exploration & problem-solving
- Social-emotional learning & self-regulation

- Multiple ways for children to engage and respond
- Tactile, visual, auditory, and movement-based learning experiences
- Flexible activities that adapt to different abilities and interests
Enhances teacher confidence & reduces planning load
- 40 flexible, ready-to-use activities
- A clear activity guide that supports intentional planning

How it fits into your day
Reach & Match can be used during:

The same activity scales in complexity, keeping children part of the group. Setup is simple, and activities can be revisited across the week, making participation visible.
What this looks like in real classrooms
Examples shared by early childhood educators across different settings
Flexible activities across routines and groups
“We draw on a wide range of activities from the guidebook, like quick sand, Simon says, and river crossing, to support both fine and gross motor skills within our play program. What’s helpful is the flexibility, we can set up different stations using the mats, adapt for different age groups, and use the same system across multiple classes. It saves planning time and gives us ready-to-use ideas that work in different parts of the day.”
Building confidence and participation
“One child was initially hesitant to join group activities. With the predictable routines, they began observing, then joining briefly, and now participate more consistently in turn-taking activities with peers.”
Supporting children who learn through movement
“Some children in our group need movement to stay engaged. Using the mats, they learn letters and numbers while stepping and navigating pathways. We’ve seen longer periods of engagement and more consistent participation compared to seated activities.”
Including children with physical disabilities
“We have a child with physical disabilities who previously did not join floor-based group activities. With adapted use of the mats, they are now able to participate alongside peers in the same activity, with support adjusted to their movement needs.”
What it enables
- From constant redirection → sustained engagement
- From separate adaptations → shared participation
- From uncertainty about inclusion → confident practice
- From individual support → group belonging
Recommended for
- Kindergartens and preschools
- Early learning centres
- Inclusive classrooms
- Sensory and behaviour support settings
“Every child has a different way of staying engaged, whether it’s movement, touch or repetition, there’s always a way in. Every child ends up part of the same learning experience.”
