One at a time, I let them share their shape with the class. They tell us the name of the shape and how many faces, edges, and vertices it has. I always let them throw in a little something about their object too. Then, students place their object on a nearby table into the correct shape category.
We always play a fun "Guess the Shape" game, too! I stuff solid shapes into a bag full of stuffing (tissue paper, paper shreds, etc.), and call students up one at a time, blindfolded, to pull out a shape and guess what it is by only feeling it. It's a great review game and actually goes very quickly.
We also use our table full of sorted shapes to tally and graph. If you'd like you are welcome to download this free Shape Share Day Tally Table for the ActivBoard.



What fun things do you do when teaching shapes?
