Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about different shapes. These shapes are called geometric shapes. Let’s see how many you can recognize!
First up, we have a sphere! A sphere is round and looks like a ball. Imagine a tennis ball or a bowling ball. Those are spheres!
Next, we have a cube. A cube has six square sides that are all the same size. Think about a dice or a box. Those are cubes!
Now, let’s look at a cylinder. A cylinder has two flat, round ends that are the same size. It’s like a can of soda or a candle. Those are cylinders!
Here comes a prism! A prism has two ends that are the same shape. There are many kinds of prisms. A milk carton is a prism with square ends. Some prisms have triangle ends, like a skating rink!
Wow, look at this! It’s a pyramid! A pyramid has a base that is a shape with many sides, and all the other sides are triangles. They meet at the top point, called the apex. Think of the pyramids in Egypt or a teepee!
Finally, we have a cone. A cone has a round base and a pointy top. It looks like a birthday hat or an ice cream cone. Yum!
Great job! Let’s remember all the shapes we learned today: sphere, cube, cylinder, prism, pyramid, and cone. Now you know all about these cool geometric shapes!
Can you think of more things that look like a cube? Keep exploring and learning about shapes around you!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that match the geometric shapes we learned about: sphere, cube, cylinder, prism, pyramid, and cone. Make a list or draw pictures of the objects you find. Can you find at least one object for each shape?
Build Your Own Shapes: Use playdough or clay to create the different geometric shapes. Try making a sphere, cube, cylinder, prism, pyramid, and cone. Once you’ve made them, compare the shapes. How are they similar? How are they different? Which one was the easiest to make?
Shape Story Time: Imagine that each shape is a character in a story. What kind of adventures would they have? Write a short story or draw a comic strip about their day. For example, maybe the sphere rolls away on an adventure, or the pyramid helps build a sandcastle. 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 shapes. Do you know how many types there are? Here they come! Take a guess. What is this? Yes, it’s a sphere! Spheres look like this tennis ball or like this bowling ball.
And this is a cube. Cubes have six identical square sides. [Music] Dice are cubes, and this box is also a cube. [Music]
This shape is a cylinder. Cylinders have two identical flat circular bases. A cylinder is like this can or like this candle.
This is a prism. Both faces of the prism are identical. There are many types of prisms. This milk carton is a prism, as you can see both of its faces are identical squares. But in this prism, its bases are triangles. It looks like a skating rink!
Wow, so fast! This one is super easy; I’m sure you’ve seen it before. It’s a pyramid! Its base is a polygon, and its sides are triangles. All sides meet at a central point, the apex, just like the pyramids in ancient Egypt or like this Indian-style teepee.
Finally, I’ll show you a cone. As you can see, the cone has a circular base and a vertex. The cone looks like this birthday hat [Music] or like this ice cream cone.
Oops! Well done! Let’s recap all the geometric shapes: sphere, cube, [Music] cylinder, prism, [Music] pyramid, cone.
Now you know everything about geometric shapes! Way to go! [Music] Leave a comment below about more shapes that look like a cube. If you want to keep learning, click on the seal and subscribe to our YouTube channel. To watch more videos, click on the video frames. [Music]
