How to teach Shapes
Using this Matching Shapes Activity, students recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes.
Your students interact with shapes almost everyday. They need to know different shapes to be able to describe objects they are looking for. This activity will help your students know the names of common 2D shapes.
Use the Shape Activity Cards to give clues to your partner. Read one clue at a time while your partner guesses the shape that is on the card. If your partner can guess the shape after Clue #1, they get 4 points. If they guess the shape after Clue #2, they get 3 Points, and so on.

Then, students complete the activity independently or with a partner. As students work, circulate around the classroom to listen to discussions students have about 2-D shapes. After the activity, share students discussions that you heard to promote 2-D shape identification skills. Finally, students look for examples of 2D shapes in the classroom or at home.
