BRIGHT, Engaging, Double-Sided Learning
Sneakers squeak, the ball bounces, and the crowd is ready! Tot Talk’s Let’s Play: Basketball placemat gives kids a fun, easy way to learn the basics of basketball before stepping onto the court. With clear visuals and simple explanations, the fast-paced game becomes approachable, exciting, and confidence-building.
Front Side
The front side introduces children to the basketball court layout and player positions. Kids learn where players line up, how teams move on offense and defense, and how the game flows across the court. Clear illustrations help children understand spacing, teamwork, and the roles of each position.
Back Side
The wipe-clean back side focuses on basketball rules and fundamentals. Kids learn how the game starts, how points are scored, and what actions like passing, dribbling, shooting, and rebounding mean. A creative activity invites children to design and color their own basketball jersey, choosing team colors and numbers. Kids can write, draw, erase, and play again as they practice and learn.
