Shape It!
Subject: Maths
(This idea was contributed by Angie)
Age Range: 5 to 7

I was teaching my 6 year old pupils about shapes. So I played a game called Shape It!

I divided the class into groups and each group had six students. Before this exercise, they are familiar with squares, rectangle, triangle and the circle.

They will form the shapes, as instructed, with their bodies. The first group that formed the shapes received a reward.
