Review Circle and Square

Using target word while reviewing shapes

Give a child a round shape (lid from a plastic container, plate, etc.) and a square shape (cracker, napkin, book, etc.) to hold.  Let him hold up the correct object to tell you what shape you are drawing on his back.

When it is the child's turn to draw on adult's back, let the child hold a plastic round lid on your back for tracing and drawing a circle.  Find a square object for him to hold and trace for a square shape.

Have an adult draw a series of circles and squares on a child's back. Ask the child to tell you the sequence aloud.  For example, draw a circle, circle, and square.  Ask the child to tell you - circle, circle, square.  Try another series - circle, square, circle, square, square - and see if the child can verbally recall the order.  Continue with different sequences and allow the child to have success and failure.
