About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Basic shapes.

Recognising and naming shapes, noticing sides and corners, and spotting shapes in everyday things.

What’s included

  • 8 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 3–6. That’s Pre-K – Grade 1 in the US, Nursery – Year 2 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 1 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 1 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • 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

  1. Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
  2. Ask “How do you know?” about one answer. Explaining a method builds understanding faster than speed.
  3. Celebrate effort with a sticker or a star on the page, not only right answers.
