My Eight played through a game, but informed me that “I already knew most of these shapes, Mom.This next kindergarten game is best played outside or in a room with lots of space for the kids to run around. Later in the week, I bought some new clip art and decided to make another version with 3-D shapes. She actually played several times through so she could fill up the entire graph! My Eight (entering third grade) thought the game looked like fun and asked me to print a graph for her, too. This may mean counting the sides on the pentagon, hexagon, and octagon.) Your child will have to rely on the appearance of the shapes rather than the printed words when finding the matching shape on the graph. ( Tip! If you want to make the game even harder, print the version without the words labeling each shape. Also, the game board is longer and demands a longer attention span. In addition to the basic shapes on the simple version, the advanced version also includes the hexagon, octagon, pentagon and rhombus. I printed the advanced version for my Six, who is entering first grade. My Five (entering kindergarten soon) could answer the basic graph questions, but he didn’t understand what I meant by “how many more triangles than circles.” When it became clear this wasn’t a concept he was ready for, we moved on. Which shape did he land on the most? The least? How many more triangles did he land on than circles? How many ovals and circles did he land on altogether? ![]() Which shape will win?Īt the end of the game, look at the graph together. Have your child roll the die and move around the game board.Īfter your child lands on a shape, he names it and fills in a space on the accompanying graph. Simply give your child a playing piece (we used a transparent counter), a die, and a Do-a-dot marker or regular marker. This is the simpler one because it includes just five different shapes. In the download you’ll find three versions of the game.
