There are shapes in everything around us. Help children discover different shapes with pictures of things from the autumn season. Gather pictures of objects that are round or square. Make sure you have one for each child. Place the pictures in a small box or basket. Try to find objects that are seasonal such apples, pumpkins, leaves, nuts, football, goalposts, and bales of hay.Create a chart with two columns. Write Things that are Round at the top of one. Write Things that are Square at the top of the other one. Demonstrate for the children by placing a correct picture in each column. One at a time, have the children select a picture and place it in the correct column.End the activity by reading Lois Elhert’s book Leaf Man. Ask the children to spot the shapes in the book. They can create a leaf man of their own from different shaped leaves.Check this week’s free lesson plan for complete instructions and more suggestions for books.
