Shapes in the Real World with Symbols

“Shapes in the Real World,” includes six colourful worksheets, each showcasing a variety of objects in different shapes: circles, rectangles, squares, triangles, and ovals. The final worksheet presents a mix of shapes for a review and includes a diamond shape.
Each worksheet features six cards that can be cut out and laminated and used for sorting shape games or matching activities. There is a space under each shape picture for children to practice writing the shape names or the names of the objects, enhancing their literacy skills.
The worksheets are also available in black and white, providing an opportunity for children to colour them in. They can also trace over the added words.
To further enhance the learning experience, consider incorporating activities that encourage children to find shapes in their environment. Here are some ideas:

1. Shape Scavenger Hunt: Organise a scavenger hunt where children search for objects around the classroom or school that match the shapes they are learning about. They can take pictures or draw what they find.
2. Nature Walks: Take children on a nature walk and challenge them to find and identify shapes in natural objects, such as leaves, rocks, and flowers. They can document their findings through drawings or by collecting items to bring back to class.
3. Shape Collages: Have children create collages using cut-out shapes from magazines or coloured paper. They can categorise their findings by shape and glue them onto large posters.
