Hook: Shape Detective Adventure

Story Time: The Missing Shapes!

To kick things off, let’s imagine a story together.

Once upon a time in Shapeville, all the shapes lived happily together. There was Sammy the Square, Roundy the Circle, and Tri the Triangle. One sunny morning, they discovered that some of their friends were missing! The shapes needed our help to find them. To solve the mystery, we have to become shape detectives!

After our detective adventure, let’s gather in a circle and share what shapes we found. Discuss questions like:

By the end of our shape detective journey, we will be ready to uncover the mystery of our missing shapes and learn all about what makes each shape unique!
