Introduction to Shapes: A Fun Adventure

Welcome to Shape Land!

Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going on a magical adventure to a place called Shape Land! In Shape Land, everything is made of different shapes, and we need your help to discover and name them all!

The Shape Parade

To start our adventure, let’s imagine we are in the middle of a Shape Parade. Can you picture it? There are colourful balloons, big banners, and of course, lots and lots of shapes!

• 🎈 Look! Here comes a circle balloon!
• 📏 Oh, and there’s a square banner!
• 🔺 What’s that over there? A triangle having a dance party!

Activity: Shape Explorers

Now, let’s transform into Shape Explorers! I need you all to close your eyes for a moment. Imagine you are walking through Shape Land. Can you see shapes everywhere? What shapes do you see?

• When I count to three, I want you to open your eyes and shout out the first shape you see in our classroom! Ready? One, two, three!

Shape Check-In

Now that we are back, let’s do a quick check-in! Raise your hand if you saw:

• A circle, like the clock on the wall?
• A square, like our windows?
• A triangle, like the roof above us?

Wonderful! You are all fantastic Shape Explorers!

Let’s Discover!

After our adventure, we will be learning more about shapes, how to identify them, and even how to create our own shape art!
