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