Match these unusual looking pumpkins to their names and numbers of sides. Great for Fall or Halloween-themed learning. Shapes include a triangle, circle, square, rectangle, oval and hexagon.
What you’ll need
- Download the 2D pumpkin shapes printable below.
- Print off either the black and white or colour version
- Cut out the three circles and assemble them using a brad or split pin.
How to use
- Turn the three ‘wheels’ to find the correct match.
- Since all the shapes start with a different letter even early readers can look for the first sound rather than having to read the whole word (note: square and circle start with the same sound although they’re different letters).
- The inner wheel is to choose the number of sides or vertices (corners).
- Pairs: One child can choose a picture, word or number – then another child matches the rest of the wheel
Please note
Mathematically a circle has no sides but that can be a difficult concept for young children. Tell them a side must be straight not curved. Therefore it has one line, but not one side.
