3D objects: Recognise familiar three-dimensional objects
Distinguish between objects, which are three-dimensional (3D) and shapes which are two-dimensional (2D)
Sort familiar three-dimensional objects according to obvious features
Outdoor playing area
2D shapes and 3D objects ( concrete or images)
Hoops
Mark a central area and place 3D and 2D objects inside.
Each team has 2 hoops (3D and 2D)
Teams race to collect 2D shapes and 3D objects to sort into categories.
Teams collect as many 2D shapes and 3D objects as possible in the allotted time (e.g. 60 seconds).
One player runs to a central point to collect a shape or object and returns to their base placing it into the 2D or 3D hoop.
When all the objects and shapes have been removed from the centre, the coach calls ‘STOP!’
Teams sort their collection into 2D shapes and 3D objects.
Teams create their own categories for sorting.
Vary the locomotion.
