2D Shapes Robot Game

What’s included?
This download includes four A4, (x2 landscape/x2 portrait orientation) pdf sheets to play the ‘2D Shapes Robot Game’. UPDATE! Two new LARGER game boards are now included.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

What’s it for?
This resource is to help learners recognise and name 2D shapes as well as thinking about their properties e.g. the number of sides and corners/vertices.

Resource Details
The 2D shapes focused on in this game are investigated in this activity are semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

Learners will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game.

Page 1 includes the game instructions. These are:
How to play

• Each player choose a game board (left or right) page 2 Names can be written above each board
• Take turns to shake the die
  When a player rolls a number for a shape that they need to collect they ‘stick’ this shape onto their robot’s ‘control panel’ (right side, page 2).
  Follow the instructions below…
• If roll 1 - stick down and tick circle (circle has one curved side)
• If roll 2 - stick down and tick semi circle (a semi circle has two sides, one straight AND one curved)
• If roll 3 - stick down and tick triangle (a triangle has three sides AND three corners / ‘vertices’)
  If roll 4 - stick down and tick square (a square has four equal sides AND four corners / ‘vertices’)
• If roll 5 - stick down and tick pentagon (a pentagon has five sides AND five corners / ‘vertices’)
• If roll 6 - stick down and tick hexagon (a hexagon has six sides AND six corners / ‘vertices’)

…once the shape is stuck down AND ticked that player can have ANOTHER turn!

If roll a number for a shape already stuck down and ticked it is the next person’s turn instead…

Repeat until one player has collected/ticked off ALL of their 2D shapes first!

• Page 2 includes two ‘game boards’ and a set of small 2D shapes for each player (dotted lines guide where to cut). Players will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game.

An adult could pre-cut the small 2D shapes for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.
