About this resource

Description

The Color the Shapes Worksheet helps kindergarten students name and sort basic shapes while they color. This color the shapes worksheet gives children a simple color key, a circle in red, a triangle in yellow and a square in green, and then asks them to find every matching shape in a big field of circles, triangles, squares and rectangles.

Shapes on the page come in small, medium and large sizes, so students learn that a shape keeps its name no matter how big it is. Rectangles are mixed in and stay white, which helps young learners notice the difference between a square and a rectangle. In the second part, students count how many shapes they colored in each color and write the number in a box. Use it for morning work, a math center, small group practice or homework.

What’s Included

  • A color key that matches three shapes to three color words
  • A field of fifteen outline shapes in three sizes to color
  • A count-and-write section with three answer boxes
  • A full color answer key

3 Reasons This Worksheet Helps Kids

  • It builds shape recognition. Children find circles, triangles and squares even when their sizes change.
  • It practices careful looking. Leaving the rectangles white asks students to tell a square from a rectangle.
  • It connects geometry and counting. Students count each color and write the number, linking shapes to numbers.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before starting, go on a shape hunt around the room and name each shape you find. After students finish this kindergarten geometry worksheet, have them trace a finger around each side of a square and a rectangle and compare the sides. For an extension, give students paper shapes in different sizes and let them sort the shapes into groups.
