In this material you will find games that will help you to simply and easily study geometric shapes with your baby. Such classes are best done briefly so that the child does not have time to get tired, but constantly so that he does not forget what you learned the day before. Start with the simplest games in which one figure is studied, and then move on to those where all of them are involved. Geometric shapes for kids are fun and entertaining!
Show your imagination, come up with your own game options! Draw and “revive” the pictures of geometric shapes for children by drawing funny faces for them. Do crafts, look for figures in ordinary things, when you walk along the street ... In a word, think up, then it will be interesting to both you and the baby.
1. Chalk the shape you want to study on the blackboard . The child should wet a finger in the water and circle it, that is, erase the geometric shapes along the contour. For children, you need to comment on what is happening - what kind of figure it is, what it is, how many angles it has, what it looks like. As an option, you can paint on the tiles in the bathroom with paints or toothpaste when you bathe.
2. Take a bag of fabric and put cubes, balls, pyramids there. There are several options for the game: the baby takes out one item and names each figure, or, putting his hand in the bag, guesses what he felt.
3. Make “piggy banks” from cardboard boxes or cans to collect figures, that is, cut a hole in the form of a triangle, circle, etc. at the top. Also, cut the shapes themselves out of thick cardboard into the size of the holes. Shuffle. Now the baby has to collect the full piggy banks.
4. Cut out geometric shapes for children from thick cardboard and stick materials of different texture on each of them: fur, sandpaper, leather, oilcloth, etc. Let the baby find the same shapes, touch them, say what they feel ...
5. Make holes in the cardboard geometric shapes and give the child thick threads for beads. Let him collect all the circles on one thread, on the other - squares, etc. The holes should be large enough.
6. Make a circle out of thick cardboard, paint it yellow. Let the child attach clothespins to it, so that the sun turns out.
7. Draw yourself or cut out a drawing of a car or a steam locomotive from a children's book or coloring book. Geometric shapes for children - circles that will be wheels, cut out of cardboard or take buttons of different sizes. Let the kids pick up the wheels for transport and glue it with tape or glue.
8. The child takes a geometric shape (children's cubes, cylinder, etc.) and draws it around by placing it on a piece of paper or on a slate board. The figure that turned out must be painted over.
9. Take a thick cardboard of different colors, draw on each sheet one figure. Cut each into pieces, mix. The child needs to assemble a puzzle. Depending on the age of the child, you can make small or large puzzles by cutting the pieces only vertically or only horizontally.
10. On each face of the toy cube, attach an image of a geometric figure. The child throws a cube and must name which figure fell out. You can also search for the dropped figure in the heap cut out.
11. From thick paper, cut out the figure, glue it with tape, make a few holes along the edges, thread the cord. Let the child slightly lace up the figure, pulling the rope through the holes.
12. Make a Christmas tree, a snowman, a house, etc. from cut out geometric shapes.
