About this resource

We have so many new skills to teach our young learners, so ensuring that we can keep them engaged very early on is so important. Two ways to do this is by incorporating topics they are interested in and by providing them with hands-on activities.

This is a Busy Learning More Shapes Activity that is great for your Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. You can use this to introduce shapes or review it for students who have already mastered shape identification.  

It is a 5-page printable. You may choose to print copies of each page for every student to complete as a cut and paste activity. It may also be good to print a few copies and laminate them for repeated use. If you choose to laminate them, you can attach Velcro dots to the coloured shapes so students can match them up. Students would also be able to use dry erase markers to trace the names of the shapes.

On the first two pages, you have the outlined shapes with their names inside of the shapes. Students will trace the names of the shapes. On the last two pages, you have the colourful shapes without their names printed. This is a great way for students to practice shape identification, learn about angles and sides, and get familiar with shape names.

I hope you enjoy!
