Shape Finder Board Game
Learning Goals: Math, Geometry and Spatial Sense, Turn-Taking
- Provide students with a printout of the attached .pdf board game
- Students should also have a card deck with arrows going straight, left, and right, and a number of squares to move.
- When it is a student’s turn, they pick a card and move the main piece (can be a toy car) in the direction of the card that they pulled.
- When they land on a sqaure they can add a corresponding shape to that tile on the board game.
- The objective of the game is to move the car from one corner of the board game to the opposite corner, collaboratively.
- The educator should model using directional/ positional language.
