Shape Hunt: Find Shapes Around You

Go on a shape hunt around the home or classroom and discover shapes in everyday objects.

Try it together

  1. Choose one shape, such as a circle.
  2. Look around the room for objects with that shape.
  3. Name each object and trace its outline with a finger.
  4. Repeat with a square, triangle, and rectangle.

Make it playful

Keep the activity short, celebrate effort, and let children move, point, talk, draw, or act whenever it helps them participate.

For parents and caregivers: Avoid turning the activity into a test. Ask questions such as “What shape do you notice?” and allow children to explain their thinking.
