Shapes and Positional Word Bump [FREEBIE}

Do you know the game Bump?  It's been around forever in one variation or another.  Well, here's one to practice positional words and 2D and 3D shapes.  You just print the spinner boards and game boards for every 2 students.  Gather a paper clip, a pencil and about 20 linking cubes (10 of two different colors) and you are ready to play.  It's my last shape unit activity I am making (getting bored with shapes- need to move on to something else) and it's a FREEBIE!!! Check out some pictures here and then head to my store to download it.

More Shape and Geometry Stuff

Still hard at work on Positional Words and Shape stuff... only a couple of more ideas to share!
The first is a Shared Reading Book and Emergent Reader for shapes- one for 2D shapes and one for 3D shapes.  Here are some pictures and here the link to the product.











 
The other thing I've been working on is a positional word test for my kinders.  Here are some pictures of that as well as the link. It has 2 picture cards that can be used as individual assessments and 1 performance task you can use whole group.

This used to be a triangle, but now it is a...

One of the first math units we do is a geometry unit that focuses on basic shapes.  Here's a cute activity that you can use after learning about each shape.  I collect the student papers and make a class book, but if you did this for all the shapes, the students could have their own shape book at the end.  I am going to use die cuts of the shapes (I spent yesterday cutting shapes with my Cricut), but I included a sheets of the shapes in case you need them.  We always spend a lot of time brainstorming about some ideas of what the shape could turn into- for triangle, some of our ideas are always a slice of pizza, a birthday hat, a piece of pie etc...  Here's the link to this document:  This used to be a...Hope it's something you can add to your shape unit!
