Polygon playground is a game where students can click and drag different shapes to build a picture out of them. This can help the students show how different shapes can build one thing. This would be a good way to help the students reinforce what they already know about shapes, and it will help them see that you can build things out of some shape. Then, they will know to look for shapes inside of things.
This shows a video made by a kindergarten classroom. The video shows what shapes the students found in nature, and it would be a good example to show the class so they know what their goal is.
This sheet can be printed out for the students so they can cut out the shapes in it and glue them in the right spot on the picture given to them. This will help the students match up the shapes while completing a picture.
This website can be used as a resource page since there are a lot of links on it to other shape games the students can play.
This website has a game for students to play where it shows a picture and asks the students to find all the objects in the picture that are in the form of a certain shape. This is great for having students practice finding shapes in nature.
Projector
The teacher can bring in pictures from nature on slides and project them onto the blackboard. Then, he/she can ask the students to come up and not only point out the shapes, but also use chalk to trace the outline of the shape around the object in the picture. For example, if the teacher projected a picture of a clock and asked a student to find the shape, that student would trace around the clock and realize that he/she is drawing a circle. Then, the student connects the fact that the clock is the same shape as the circle.
