Go Fish! (Shapes)

This game helps children match shapes to their shape names. When asked, “Do you have any triangles?,” children hear the shape name “triangle” and scan their cards for a shape with three straight sides. Ask children how they knew that they did or didn’t have a matching card. Encourage them to use attribute words in their explanations. For example, “I knew this was a match because both cards have triangles. The triangles have three sides and the sides are straight.”
