How to play
Teams race to collect 2D shapes to sort into categories.
Identify categories, eg. shapes with 3 sides, 4 sides, 5 sides.
Players take turns to run to the other end, collect a shape and return it to the correct category.
Continue until all objects have been removed.
Perform a gallery walk to look at each teams sorting and listen to their reasons.
