Shape Blocks (Activity
Instructions) 2
Years 3
Years 4
Years
Number of players: 1 - 10 for craft, unlimited for play
Print off all 5 shape blocks. For more than 5 players print off 2 of
each block.
Cut out all T shapes around the outside.
Use card stock paper for best results.
Teachers: Give each student one block T sheet. Have each student
color his block sheet. When the child is finished, fold the sheet in
towards the blank side, on all lines, and this will form a block. Tape
all edges to create a solid block. After all of the students have
finished coloring, have them pick up their blocks and go to the center
of the room and stand in a circle. Have the child with the Circle/Square
block step forward and show all of the students his block naming the
shapes. Then have that child place his block in the center of the circle
on the floor. Have the child next to him then come to the center, show
his block, tell his letters and place his block on-top-of the other.
Have all the students take a turn. At the end there should be a stack of
blocks. The children can keep their blocks or the teacher can keep them
to use at another time.
Parents: Give your child all of the block sheets. Have him color
each sheet. When he’s done, cut out around each T. Fold the T on all
of the lines, towards the blank side. This will form a block shape. Tape
all sides together to create a solid block. Then have your child tell
you the shapes on each block and build stacks of blocks. You can also
have your child try to blow the stack down and play games to see how far
away he can stand when blowing at the stack.
Play Instructions: Have children build creative stacks with all
the blocks. Talk about the letters on the blocks. Have him tell you what
letters he sees.
