Shape Hunt for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten

Description

2D Shapes Hunt is a fun & active way for students to learn and draw their basic 2D shapes. Basic shapes students hunt for are circle, oval, square, rectangle, triangle, and rhombus.

All you have to do is pick the page(s) you want to use and print. It’s that simple! It’s a perfect activity for any preschool, pre-k, or kindergarten classroom! It can be used as a whole class activity, small group activity, or a math center activity.

Variations:

Shapes to find:

•Have students find shapes that are naturally around the classroom or home

•Have students put shape manipulatives around the center or room. You can use foam shapes, magnet shapes, shape beads, or other shape manipulatives you have. My students love to put the shapes all around!

•Tape up shape flashcards around a center or room.

•Put shapes in a sensory tub for students to find. Grab a plastic tub and put rice or beans in it!

•Put shapes in a sensory bottle for students to find.

Extra Challenge!

•Students put the shape manipulatives or objects in a pile and compare the various attributes. How many sides does the shape have? How many corners or vertices does the shape have? Does it have curves?
