Shapes posters are a really handy reference for kids when they’re completing activities or playing games. I’m going to make some 2D shapes worksheets in the near future too. Then once they’ve made them, they can record the properties of the shape on the recording sheet.
I’m one of those teachers who LOVES crafts and displays… So naturally, when creating net templates I created a cute way to display them too! The kids can make a variety of nets, which look super cute printed on colored paper. The pictures of real world objects help them make a connection between each shape and where they might see it in our world. The one shown below helps kids to explore each shape individually. To help consolidate learning, I often make up workbooks using a variety of shapes worksheets. You can find out more about these games here: Shapes Bingo Games Shapes Card Games 3D Shapes Worksheets I find games are a fabulous way to keep kids engaged during learning! In addition to board games, I often play shapes bingo and card games such as scoot, shape memory and snap. The cool thing about these games, besides the super cute pictures, is that there are games with plain shapes AND games with real objects. You can choose from board games or roll and cover games. I created eighteen fun games to help kids identify a variety of 2D shapes and 3D shapes. I find board games awesome for small group work and math centers. The kids pull out one picture at a time, name the shape and then place it in the corresponding hoop. Then I place the pictures of these shapes into a mystery bag.
I pick a few shapes to focus on, such as a cone and cube, and place these headings in hoops. To mix things up, I often use hoops to sort the shapes too. Then the kids complete one of the cut and paste worksheets. The shapes covered include: cube, cylinder, sphere, cone, square pyramid, rectangular prism and triangular prism. These activities help kids to learn about 3D shapes by sorting pictures of real objects. Shapes are so fun to teach because they have such real world relevance – they are literally all around us! I’ve put together a collection of shapes activities which help kids learn about 2D shapes and 3D shapes. They make a great addition to Kindergarten, First Grade and Second Grade math centers. These shapes activities help kids learn about 2D and 3D shapes.
