All About Shapes & Colours Game

All About Shapes & Colours Game

This is a fun, colourful board game where students can practice consolidating their 2D shapes and colour knowledge. Students will move around a game board, rolling two custom dice, following directions and identifying 2D shapes based on either their shape and colour. The templates for making the dice are included in the resource.

Perfect for fast finishers, or for small group rotations.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to sort, name, make and describe familiar shapes using obvious features.
  • We are learning to sort, describe and name 2D shapes and 3D objects based on common features.
  • We are learning to make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features.
  • We are learning to describe the features of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects.
