Name of Activity: Shape Shifters

Purpose of Activity: To learn and be able to recognize different shapes and colors.

Prerequisites: Understanding of locomotor skills.

Suggested Grade Level: PRE-K

Materials Needed: Construction paper, radio/tape(cd) and laminating machine so paper does not tear.

Description of Idea

Variations:

Use basic shapes for Pre-K. For older children use Octagons, Diamonds, Hexagons etc. If having shapes taped to the floor creates a safety concern tape the laminated shapes to cones and have children move to stand by a shape.

Assessment Ideas:

Hold up shapes and ask children to name the shapes. As children leave the class hold up flash cards with shapes and see if individual children can identify them.

Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:

Ask children with restricted movement to name the shape another child is standing on. Children in wheelchairs can move chairs over the shapes on the floor.
