Shapes All Around

Match an everyday thing to its shape.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child matches everyday things, like a clock or a door, to their shapes. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 35

Shapes are all around us! A clock is a circle.
A door is a rectangle. A tent looks like a triangle.
Your turn! What shape is a coin? Point to it. Yes, the circle!
A window can be a square. A slice of pizza is a triangle!
Try it with a grown-up! Go on a shape hunt around your home or on a walk. How many circles can you find?
