I created these activities to teach shape vocabulary to my young English language learners. I used them with my mixed-age, mixed ability class (pre-K to G2) and they all loved it. The activity works for English-speaking students as well as ELLs. The children will learn to name and recognize basic 2D shapes - square, circle, triangle, star, pentagon, diamond, hexagon, octagon, line, and wiggly line!
The lesson plan includes instructions for introducing the shapes, singing an interactive shapes so
