4th of July 2d SHAPES Maths Geometry Games - Fun for EYFS

Use these 4th of July shapes to make recognizing 2-dimensional shapes and naming them fun. Your EYFS children can use these easy prep 2d shapes to play maths games such as Memory, Pairs and Snap in small groups find the matching shapes or shape and shape names.
This is a freebie for the 4th of July but will not be free after then.
With the red, blue & white clipart, this resource is ideal for celebrating Independence Day but can also be used for maths activities at other times.
Most young children love games and these resources lend themselves well to playing popular games practicing key maths skills and recognising and naming 2D shapes and reading words for these. Students can play this as part of their CHIL, or child-initiated independent learning activities, or as part of a maths lesson. Put them in your tuff tray or your math centre to introduce and encourage geometry.
Differentiation is easy - match for example the picture of a circle to the word ‘circle’ or print these 2x and match the same shapes.
If you use this as an adult-led activity then ask questions such as:
How many pointy bits/angles are there?
How many sides are there?
Do they look as if they are the same length?
Are all the sides straight or curved?
Can you name the shape?
Can you see a similar shape in our classroom? Outdoors etc.
The resources are great for lessons, child-initiated play activities, tuff trays, math centres, role-play areas, homeschooling, substitute teachers and 4th July role-play - a versatile resource that you can use often
