remember square and triangle shapes.

Individual Learning Activities -

Group Learning Activities Children find the hidden materials shapes as

triangle, circle and square when the music
plays and put them into the related boxes as a
group.

Summary
Teacher introduces the circle shape to the children. They do some discussion about the
characteristics of circle. For example, it has no edges. She shows a video made with
Animoto. This video includes many pictures of circle shaped materials. Then, the teacher
shows the presentation to the children and children find a chance to internalize the circle
shape while finding a chance to compare circle with square and triangle so that they can
practice all of the shapes. After practicing the shapes, teacher tells children that they are
going to play a game. She says I hid some triangle, circle and square shapes in the
classroom. You will find them as groups while the music is playing and put them into the
related boxes and when the music stops, you will freeze. After the game is over, children
discuss about the characteristics of these shapes one more time.
