We did this activity during our Shape theme week
This was a game I made up on the fly that Little Dragon really enjoyed.
I have shape buttons and I wasn't sure what I was going to use them for aside from standard sorting.
We started there.
After all the shapes were sorted by shape I asked Little Dragon to name all of the shapes. There were a couple of more complex shapes such as hexagons and octagons. These needed a bit of practice. To get the practice in I made up this game.
I told Little Dragon that he was a shop owner. I asked what kind of shop he wanted to run. He picked car shop.
I said all of the shapes were different car parts and I was going to come in as different customers to buy the parts I needed to fix my car.
He agreed, of course.
I would use a different voice for each costumer and ask for mix matched things like 3 octagons and 5 yellow triangles. This incorporated color, numbers, and shapes.
Little Dragon got a kick out of the different voices and soon started making requests. He giggled and giggled.
It was a fantastic game that he really enjoyed playing and we played for a good hour all while practicing shapes (and voices for me)
