Learning FUN Ideas

Enjoy learning shapes with five FUN activity ideas:

1. Have a shape hunt! Hide several of the shape cut-outs. Kids hunt to find where they are hiding. Give them shape-related hints, like this four-sided object is near a rectangle.

2. Create a shape robot by arranging the solid shapes into a creature on a display board or invite kids to arrange it on the floor. For extra fun, kids write about or tell a story about their robot inventions.

3. Hand the photo shapes out and invite learners to separate them into categories, like objects found inside/outside. What other categories can they think of? 

4. Choose an object in the room and point to it. Kids name its shape. Stick a piece of removable tape on back of the name label from this set and invite someone to label the item. Can you find an example for all 9 shapes?

5. Shape-of-the-Day: Choose a spot to hang up a shape of the day. Cut snacks into this shape, enjoy a paper craft or drawing activity featuring the shape, and more.
