I made this game because it is a fun challenging activity to practice many learning opportunities such as:
· fine motor control
· hand and
eye coordination
·
concentration and problem solving
· simple
sorting and matching by shapes
· early
counting
Materials
I need are recycled boxes in different colours, cut into different shapes such
as rectangular, triangle, circle, square, star and heart. I drew shapes in the
card board, so children can place the shapes in a matching mark I made.
We can
encourage learning shapes by showing children one of each shape and naming or
describing them.
By
figuring out how to put each piece into its proper mark, children learn to
categorise and eventually name shapes. It will challenge their thinking and
exercise their minds.
The area
I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know shapes
and develop early counting skills. It is also teaches responsibility. Sorting
and matching shapes is simple to set up and will trigger any child’s curiosity
to play and have fun.
