Today, we are going to dive into the magical world of shapes and numbers! Get ready to solve a mystery and help our friends find their missing shapes!
1. Gather Around: Invite your little learners to sit in a circle with you. Begin by telling them that they are about to embark on a Math Adventure where they will help find some missing shapes!
2. The Story: Share a fun, engaging story: "Once upon a time in the Land of Shapes, all the colorful shapes lived happily together. One day, while playing hide-and-seek, some of the shapes went missing! The circle rolled away, the square hid behind a tree, and the triangle climbed up a hill. Can you help us find them?"
3. Shape Introductions: Display the colorful shape cutouts and briefly describe each one:
4. Shape Hunt: Tell the children that they will go on a "Shape Hunt" around the classroom to find hidden shape cutouts. Place a few of the shape cutouts in various locations around the room beforehand.
5. Finding Shapes: Once they find a shape, they need to bring it back to the circle and tell the group what shape it is and how many sides it has!
Gather the children again and create a large poster with all the shapes they found. Encourage them to color it and decorate it with stickers.
6. Conclusion: End the lesson by celebrating everyone’s hard work. Say, "You did it! You helped us find all the missing shapes! Math is so much fun when we work together!"
Now that we’ve found all the shapes, let’s count how many we found together and see what math fun we can have next!
By weaving storytelling with an interactive hunt, this lesson captures the curiosity and excitement of preschoolers, making math not just a subject but an adventure! 🥳✨
