Meet the Shape Hunters!

Hello, friends! I’m Jesse, and today I want you to meet someone special who loves to explore just like me.

Introducing Shawna, the Shape Hunter!

Hi everyone! I’m Shawna, and I love to find shapes everywhere I go. I use my special shape-finding binoculars to help me see them!

Let’s Discover Shapes Together!

Do you know what a circle looks like? It’s round and smooth, like a ball!

How about a square? It has four sides that are all the same length, like a box!

Rectangles are like squares, but two sides are longer. They look like a door!

Triangles have three sides, like a slice of pizza!

And rhombuses are like diamonds. They have four sides, but they tilt a little!

Shapes Are Everywhere!

Shapes are all around us! Can you find a shape where you are right now?

Look, I found one! The number eight on your hat!

Oh, that’s a number, but guess what? The number eight is made up of two circles!

Wow, that’s so cool! Let’s keep looking for more shapes. See you next time!

  • Can you think of a time when you found a shape in a surprising place? What shape was it, and where did you find it?
  • If you could use special binoculars like Shawna, what shapes would you like to find, and why do you think they are interesting?
  • Look around the room you are in right now. Can you find a shape that you learned about in the video or article? How many different shapes can you find?
  1. Shape Scavenger Hunt: Go on a shape scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Use your imaginary shape-finding binoculars like Shawna! Can you find objects that match each of these shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and rhombus? Draw a picture of each object you find and share it with your friends or family.

  2. Shape Art Collage: Gather some old magazines or newspapers with the help of an adult. Cut out pictures or parts of pictures that match different shapes. Create a collage by gluing these cutouts onto a piece of paper. Try to include at least one of each shape: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and rhombus. Show your collage to the class and explain which shapes you found.

  3. Shape Story Time: Imagine you are a shape hunter like Shawna. Create a short story about your adventure finding shapes in a magical land. What shapes do you find, and where do you find them? Draw a picture of your favorite part of the story and share it with your classmates. What new shapes did you discover on your adventure?
