Whose Shape is this Anyway
Activity, Stage 1 – Unknown Shapes
The setup
Have a collection of cards with standards shapes drawn on them. These could be square, circle, triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, oval, star, or anything else you child is familiar with.
How to play
A child can do this by themselves, or with a partner. Give a small random collection of the shape cards to the child or children for them to act out silently. They can use their body parts (but not their fingers) and the ground to do things that suggest the shape. Their goal is to have the other people guess the name of the shape. You can make it competitive by having a time limit and seeing which team can do the most shapes in the allotted time.
