Kindergarten Games

Switch It Up is an interactive way for your child to learn about shapes. During the game, players will be sent on a quest to look for shapes. After players locate various shapes, they will split up their shapes and create a math equation to represent the total number of shapes they found at the beginning of their quest. The game can be played anywhere (home, outside, park, etc.).

We’re Chalking Shapes allows children to take their sidewalk chalk and creativity outside. As they create their own artwork, they are encouraged to find and identify any geometric shapes in each players' creation. The second round sends children off to redraw their picture, using shapes found in other players' drawings. The game ends with children exploring their environment on a shape scavenger hunt. For example, if a child were to draw a bee hive (i.e. hexagons), then on the scavenger hunt, he/she sees a stop sign, a hexagon may be identified. This encourages children to find math in everywhere, not just in math class. Grab some sidewalk chalk and get ready to find mathematics all around!
