Rectangle Hunt!

Make learning shapes fun with this engaging Rectangle Hunt activity! Children explore a familiar bedroom scene and search carefully for rectangles hidden throughout the picture.
Once they find a rectangle, children colour it in. This simple activity encourages children to look closely at everyday objects while developing their ability to recognise and identify rectangles.
How to Use
Children look carefully at the picture and find all the rectangles they can see. They then colour each rectangle they find.
The worksheet can be used independently, with a partner, or as a whole-class activity. You can also display it on a screen and have children take turns finding the rectangles together.
