Circles, squares and shape hunts
Kindergarteners learn to name flat (2D) shapes like circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and hexagons, and solid (3D) shapes like cubes, cones, cylinders and spheres. They learn that a shape is still a triangle whether it's big, small or turned upside down. They describe shapes by counting sides and corners (a triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners), compare flat and solid shapes, and build new shapes by putting smaller ones together. The click moment comes when a child points at a soup can and announces "cylinder!"
Shapes are all around us. These moves turn your classroom into a shape museum.
Play the shapes song and have kids draw each shape in the air as it's sung. Then hold up a real object and ask which shape it is. Songs plus movement help kids remember names and features.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withShapes SongSongsOpen it →Kids cut out and fold a paper cube, counting its faces as they go. Holding a 3D shape they made themselves shows how flat squares become a solid. Keep them for sorting games later.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
Try it withPaper Cube TemplateWorksheetsOpen it →Flash a shape card, then give kids ten seconds to find something in the room with that shape. Include rotated and skinny triangles so kids learn that turning a shape doesn't change its name.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Kindergarteners learn 2D shapes like circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and hexagons, and 3D shapes like cubes, cones, cylinders and spheres. They also describe shapes by sides and corners.
2D shapes are flat, like a drawing of a circle. 3D shapes are solid and can be held, like a ball. Kids learn that a 2D square is a face of a 3D cube.
Go on a shape hunt around the house: plates are circles, doors are rectangles, cans are cylinders. Building with blocks and cutting shapes out of paper are great practice too.
It's a very common mix-up! Show that turning a shape doesn't change it: it still has 4 equal sides and 4 corners. Rotate shapes often during play so kids see them every way.
