These play based shape activities are perfect for young learners just learning shapes and colors. Included are shape cards. Print out as many of the cards as you wish. Then simply laminate, cut, and use!
There are shape cards for sorting games. Allow the children to sort the cards by like shapes that are also big and little or by color. You may make as many copies of the cards as you wish so that their may be more matches to sort! The green cards have one matching shape card each; one matching shape is big and the other small; the shapes that match are different colors. This way the cards allow for multiple ways to sort.
Also, there are cards for a memory matching game. One copy of each cards will work for a memory game. There are no matching shapes on the purple cards. Make at least two copies for matches!
Lastly, there is also shapes for making a shape robot!
This is something I stole from the internet and reformatted slightly.
It is a worksheet/activity for pupils to look in a pattern and find different shapes.
Some of the shapes are right there, some have to be made from compound shapes.
A great resource that I have used with most classes every year. It really gets the discussions going about the difference between shapes. It also make for a challenging competition / race.
A basic activity that matches 2D Shape names, diagrams and descriptions. Ideal printed, cut and laminated so that you can use again and again as a nice kinaesthetic activity. Can also be printed / displayed for students to write down the letters of the matching items.
Solutions included.
This activity is differentiated by task and there are additional aids that can be printed to differentiate further or offer scaffolding.
Pupils can complete this individually or in pairs.
***Answers are provided **- questions 8 onwards are open-ended questions that have multiple answers, so need to be either checked by the teach or peers.
The activity can be shown on a board or used as a worksheet that is handed out.
This task is designed to challenge students of differing ability and provide teachers with a great resource that help reduce their planning, whilst creating interesting and productive lessons that have progress.

EYFS/Year 1 activity set, incorporating 2D shapes and mastery in addition. Children can use the Handa’s Surprise landscape picture scene to spot various 2D shapes. This comes with a second activity which brings addition, problem solving, and shapes together. For the addition activity, children will look at the sides of the each shape, and add them together. There is an example on the sheet, to remind the children of the add and equals symbols, as well as how to structure a number sentence. The activity progresses from looking at adding 2 shapes together, to then adding 3, and then to a shaped object.
