Today, we are going to learn about a special shape called an octagon. Are you ready to have some fun? Let’s go!
An octagon is a shape that has eight sides and eight corners. Can you count to eight? Let’s try it together: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Great job!
Octagons are all around us! Have you ever seen a stop sign? A stop sign is shaped like an octagon. Next time you see one, count the sides and see if you can find all eight!
Grab a piece of paper and a crayon. Let’s draw an octagon together. Start by drawing a line, then another, and keep going until you have eight sides. Wow, look at your amazing octagon!
Let’s sing a fun song to remember the octagon. Sing along with me:
Octagon, octagon, you have eight sides,
Octagon, octagon, you are so wide!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Octagon, octagon, you’re really great!
Now that you know about octagons, see if you can find more octagon shapes around your home or outside. Remember, learning is fun, and shapes are everywhere!
Thanks for learning about octagons with me today. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a shape expert. See you next time!
Octagon Hunt: Go on an octagon hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have the shape of an octagon, like a stop sign, a clock, or a tile. Count the sides to make sure they have eight. Can you find at least three octagons? Share what you found with a friend or family member!
Octagon Art: Create an octagon collage! Cut out octagon shapes from colored paper or magazines. Arrange and glue them onto a larger piece of paper to make a colorful octagon art piece. How many different octagons can you fit on your paper?
Shape Story: Imagine you are an octagon living in a world of shapes. What adventures would you have? Draw a picture of your octagon character and tell a story about its day. Does it meet other shapes? What fun things do they do together?
