Geometric Plane Shapes For Kids – Primary Vocabulary

Alphabets Sounds Video

share us on:

In today’s lesson, we explored various geometric plane shapes, including circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, pentagons, and hexagons. Each shape was described with relatable examples to help kids recognize them in their surroundings. The lesson encouraged children to observe and identify these shapes in everyday objects, fostering a fun and engaging learning experience.
  1. What is a circle, and can you name something that is shaped like a circle?
  2. How many sides does a triangle have, and can you think of something that looks like a triangle?
  3. Can you find a rectangle in your home or classroom? What does it look like?

Geometric Plane Shapes for Kids

Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about different shapes. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Circle

Do you know what a circle is? A circle is round, just like a lemon slice or a clock. It doesn’t have any corners or edges. Can you think of other things that are shaped like a circle?

Oval

Next, we have an oval. An oval looks a bit like a circle, but it’s stretched out, like a rugby ball or an egg. It’s flat and smooth, just like a circle.

Triangle

Now, let’s look at a triangle. A triangle has three sides and three corners. It’s like a piece of cheese or a slice of pizza. Yum! Can you count the sides on a triangle?

Square

Here is a square. A square has four sides that are all the same length, just like a piece of sandwich bread or a cookie. Squares are everywhere!

Rectangle

Next up is a rectangle. A rectangle also has four sides, but only the opposite sides are the same length. It looks like a picture frame or a dollar bill. Can you find a rectangle around you?

Diamond

This shape is a diamond. It has four sides that are the same length, but its corners are different. A diamond looks like a jewel on a crown or a kite flying in the sky.

Pentagon

Now, let’s see a pentagon. A pentagon has five sides. It looks like a birdhouse or the stitches on a football. Can you count the sides of a pentagon?

Hexagon

Finally, we have a hexagon. A hexagon has six sides. It looks like a stop sign or a beehive. Bees love hexagons!

Recap

Let’s remember all the shapes we learned today:

  • Circle
  • Oval
  • Triangle
  • Square
  • Rectangle
  • Diamond
  • Pentagon
  • Hexagon

Great job learning about shapes! Now you know so much about plane shapes. Keep looking around you to find these shapes in the world. Happy exploring!

  • Can you find any objects around your home or classroom that are shaped like a circle or an oval? What are they, and how do they look similar or different?
  • Think about your favorite foods. Can you name any that are shaped like a triangle or a square? How do these shapes make the food look or feel when you eat it?
  • Imagine you are designing a playground. Which shapes would you use for the different parts, like slides or swings, and why? How do you think these shapes would make the playground fun and safe?
  1. Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that match the shapes we learned about: circle, oval, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, pentagon, and hexagon. Draw a picture of each object you find and label it with the shape name. How many different shapes can you find?

  2. Shape Art: Create a piece of art using cut-out paper shapes. Use scissors to cut out circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, pentagons, and hexagons from colored paper. Arrange and glue them onto a larger sheet to make a fun picture. Can you make a house, a car, or even a rocket using these shapes?

  3. Shape Story: Write a short story about a day in the life of a shape. Choose your favorite shape and imagine what it would do if it could move around like you. Where would it go? What would it see? Draw a picture to go with your story. Share your story with a friend or family member!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

[Music] Today we’re going to learn about geometric plane shapes. Do you know how many types there are? Here we go!

Do you know what this is? It’s a circle! A circle is round, just like this lemon half or this clock.

What about this shape? It looks very much like a circle, but it’s not. This is an oval. It has a flat face and looks like a rugby ball or an egg.

Now, this is not an oval anymore; this is a triangle. It’s a polygon with three sides and three angles. The triangle is like this piece of cheese or a slice of pizza. Yum!

This is a square. This square looks like sandwich bread or a cookie.

No more food talk—I’m feeling really hungry!

This is a rectangle. It has four sides like the square, but they’re not identical; only its opposite sides are equal in length. A rectangle looks like this bill or this picture frame.

This is a diamond shape. Its four sides are identical, but its angles are not, meaning this one and this one are equal, and so are these two. A diamond looks like the jewel on this crown or like this kite.

This one right here is a pentagon. Pentagons have five sides: one, two, three, four, and five. A pentagon looks like this birdhouse or the stitches on a football.

Finally, I’ll show you the hexagon. Hexagons have six sides. A hexagon is like this stop sign or a beehive.

We better go now; the bees are getting angry!
