3. Game “I Spy”

To play “I Spy” one student finds objects which are different shapes. The student should say “I spy with my little eyes something square”

Other students might guess, “Is it a clock?” or “Is it a pencil sharpener?” Students keep guessing until somebody identifies the object correctly. Continue playing the game with other shapes.

 

4. Body Language “Live Shapes”

Break students into pairs and ask them to show different shapes with the help of their hands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Pair Work “Shape Animals”

Break students into pairs and give them a set of different shapes. Tell students they will be creating their own “shape animals”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

               When the group has finished ask them to complete the table:

What did you create?
What shapes did you use?
Do you like this animal?
Where does it live?
What can it do?

• Does it eat leaves?
• What can it do?
