Tag Bags (2020 Edition)

This versatile set of 30 Tag Bags in red, yellow, blue, orange, green, and purple is perfect for a variety of hands-on activities that teach critical math skills. Made of thick, durable canvas, each has a different fastener (zipper, buckle, snap, Velcro, or large button) to develop fine motor skills. Number symbols on the right side of the bag, and white dots on the left side (for numbers 1-10) make matching and sorting fun. Each bag includes a pocket to fit one of the 30 laminated color tags (included for more learning opportunities) inside--- or fill the pocket with your own small objects for counting. Each suggested activity in the 16-page booklet is sung to a familiar tune such as “Jingle Bells”, “On Top of Old Smokey”, or “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and is easy to do with a class of children or a single student. Skills learned are detailed, for example: As children sort and classify by attribute (colors or fasteners) they are building problem solving strategies that are basic to patterns/algebra. Even social-emotional skills are practiced as children learn to wait for a turn or work together for a goal. You can also get creative with your own student-led activities during discovery learning, circle time, and centers. The possibilities seem endless, as children learn so much when they open, close, count, sort, measure and build with the bags!
