This two-sided, interactive coding mat with accompanying literacy activity cards and guide with standards-aligned lesson ideas offers endless opportunities for screenless learning and fun with Sphero indi and was designed to support ELA curriculum.

One side welcomes students to indi Land, where each of the eight locations is connected to a different literacy concept. Students can use Color Tiles to guide indi to the Retelling Rollercoaster and discuss the beginning, middle, and end of a story or identify and consider characters at the Character Cabins. Each location offers an opportunity to strengthen literacy skills and have discussions rooted in a shared text.

The flip side of the mat is an adaptable, blank grid that assists students in placing Color Tiles when programming indi. It can be used alongside the accompanying literacy cards for practicing objectives such as letter identification, word formation, and sentence construction or can be used to facilitate hands-on learning in other subject areas.

For recommended lessons and alignment to WIDA and CCSS Standards, take a look at our free indi Land guide.

Carter A. ★★★★★

The literacy cards saved our rainy afternoons — my six-year-old actually asks to do the word games, and she's learning to sequence steps without even realizing it. Having the lesson guide already aligned to standards means I don't have to plan anything, which as a former teacher is honestly a relief

Avery P. ★★★★☆

The double-sided mat keeps my kids busy for a solid hour without screens, and the literacy cards pair nicely with the coding challenges. Only gripe is the guide could use a few more lesson ideas for beginners, but it's been a hit so far.
