Floor Mat: Blood Journey – Human Circulatory System Diagram

This unique educational mat illustrating a simplified human circulatory system is the perfect teaching aid for primary school lessons in science, biology, and health education. It transforms the classroom into a walkable diagram of the human body—one that children can see, explore… and even walk through!

The mat features a cross-section of the heart, lungs, and a simplified route of the pulmonary (small) and systemic (large) circulations. You’ll also find capillaries and, at the bottom, illustrations of the liver and intestines—examples of internal organs reached by circulating blood. Designed to be clear and engaging, the mat helps students understand how blood flows through the body, where gas exchange happens, and how all of these processes are interconnected.

How to Use the Mat?

This mat is not just for looking at—it’s made for action! It invites children to learn about the circulatory system through movement and play. Assign different roles to students and take them on a journey through the human body!

One student plays the role of blood and receives oxygen from another student representing the lungs (using colored balls or paper cutouts as oxygen and carbon dioxide symbols). The "blood" then moves along the arteries illustrated on the mat, delivering oxygen to other students acting as organs. In return, the blood receives carbon dioxide and returns it to the lungs to exhale—ready to begin the cycle again. It's an engaging, hands-on way to teach complex concepts like the structure of the circulatory system, gas exchange, blood flow, the roles of the heart and lungs, and the differences between the small and large circulatory loops—all while having fun!

The mat measures 130 x 250 cm and is coated with a durable protective laminate, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth and resistant to wear. It’s built for regular use in classrooms, gymnasiums, or activity rooms. The mat can be rolled up for easy storage between lessons.

With this mat, students won’t just learn how their bodies work—they’ll truly experience it, appreciate the complexity inside them, and understand why taking care of their health is so important.
Learning that moves, engages, and sticks for life!
