Shape Superstars: EYFS Resource Pack

Get ready to explore the exciting world of 2D shapes with this engaging and comprehensive resource pack, perfectly designed for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)!

This pack (8 Powerpoints and worksheets) provides a fun and interactive way to introduce, reinforce, and assess knowledge of the foundational shapes: circle, square, triangle, and rectangle.

What’s Included:
Interactive Introduction PPT: A vibrant PowerPoint presentation dedicated to introducing the four main shapes. Each shape is shown clearly with key characteristics highlighted to build foundational knowledge.

‘Guess the Shape’ Game (PPT): A fun, interactive guessing game where a shape is partially or completely covered, and children use clues to figure out which shape it is. Excellent for developing visual discrimination and critical thinking skills!

‘Odd One Out’ Activity (PPT): An engaging activity where children look at a set of shapes and identify the one that is different. This strengthens their ability to compare and classify shapes based on their properties.

Shape Cutting Templates (PDF): A printable PDF file featuring various sizes of circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Perfect for developing fine motor skills and providing a hands-on activity where children can manipulate the shapes.

‘SPY Colour’ Game: A focused activity where children follow simple instructions to colour specific shapes in requested colours (e.g., “Colour all the squares blue,” “Colour the circles red”). This reinforces both shape recognition and colour recognition in a playful way.

Key Learning Outcomes:

Identify and name circle, square, triangle, and rectangle.

Describe simple features of 2D shapes.

Develop fine motor skills through cutting.

Improve listening skills and visual discrimination.

This pack is ideal for whole-class teaching, small group work, or continuous provision in your EYFS setting!
