About this activity
What your child practises
Skills: Finding 2D shapes.
Recognising and naming shapes, noticing sides and corners, and spotting shapes in everyday things.
What’s included
- 6 shapes to find

Age and school year
Made for ages 4–8. That’s Pre-K – Grade 3 in the US, Reception – Year 4 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 3 in India.
How to use it
- Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.

- Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
- Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
- Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
- Pick a regular time – after a snack, say – so practice becomes a habit rather than a battle.
