LET'S PLAY
Interactive activity
In this activity, the child will first watch a video about shapes in the environment, like how a roofline makes a triangle. Then they will look at pictures and find shapes embedded in the picture.
Video made possible by Kentucky Educational Television (KET).
After logging into your CLI Engage account, launch the activity by clicking this button. Type the child’s first name and last initial to begin!
Independent practice
At the end of the activity, the child will be asked to find shapes in the classroom or house. The target shapes are circle, triangle, square, and rectangle.
Knowledge check
Have the child show you the shapes they found around the classroom or house. Ask them to name the shapes they found and discuss some of their attributes (sides, corners).
