2D/3DSHAPES

IN THIS N6 different print & play games to help students practice 2D and 3D shapes.

The only tools you will ever need for these games are things you find in your classroom already: dice, a pencil, paperclips, crayons, & some sort of

cube or counter

• Roll and Cover• Race to Robot

• Match the Shape• One More, One Less• 2D and 3D Find it!• Fraction This

All games are in black and white so you can just print & play! No prep needed!

IN MY LI don’t know about your students, but mine LOVE to play games & how could you blame them?! These games are the perfect way to have your students practice skills they’ve already learned to help their fluency. This is also a great time for

you, as the teacher, to walk around and check in with students and offer help as needed. As students are engaged in their games you can also pull students in

small groups for some guided practice or intervention.

I made each of these games with EASE in mind. With the same game formats and tools you already have in your classroom, these games make life easy! I will usually have my students meet in a circle on the rug while I show them how to

play the game. Once they know how, simply print one of the pages and let students play!

There are 6 different games of varying difficulty included in this unit that cover 2D and 3D shapes.

ROLL &For this game you will need:

Dice sheet1 die

Game boardSet of 10 cubes for each player (each player has their own color)

Directions:Students will take turns rolling the

die and finding a shape on the board to cover that matches that description and cover it with their

cube.

If a student rolls a 2, they will REMOVE one of their opponent’s

cubes from the board. If they roll a 6 their turn is skipped!

Students play until all shapes are covered and whoever has covered

the most at the end, wins!

RACE toFor this game you will need:

Robot sheetSpinner

Paperclip and pencilcrayons

Directions:Students each get their own robot sheet and spinner. Students will take turns spinning the spinner

with a pencil and paperclip.

They will land on a shape name or characteristic and find one of

those shapes on their robot sheet to color in. Students will continue to

spin and color until one student colors the whole robot first!

There is also a skip turn portion on the spinner to make the game a

little more interesting!

MATCH THEFor this game you will need:

Game BoardSpinner

Paperclip and pencilCubes (different colors for each

student)

Directions:Students will spin the spinner and land on a 2D shape. They will look for the 3D shape with a matching face. When they find the matching shape, they will cover

it with their color cube.

If a student lands on the remove one wedge, they will remove an opponent’s cube. Students will play until all the 3d shapes are covered. Whoever has the

most wins!

While my students are playing this game, I usually have the 3D shapes out on the table for them to examine the

faces.

SHAPE

MATCH THE SHAPE REMOVEONE

ONEFor this game you will need:

Game board1 die

2 crayons (one for each player)

Directions:Students will roll a die and look for a

shape on the board that has one MORE or one LESS side than that

number. They will color that piece of the game board in.

For instance, if I roll a 4 I could cover a shape with 3 sides OR a

shape with 5 sides! Students continue rolling and covering until all

the spaces are filled in. Whoever has the most colored in, wins!

If there is not a space to color, your turn is skipped!

Game board1 die

2 crayons (one for each player) or cubes

Directions:Students will roll a die and find the 2D or 3D real life shape in the grid

that matches the shape they rolled. Students will cover that space with a

cube or color it in with a crayon.

Students continue playing until all spaces are covered. Whoever

covered the most, wins!

If you roll a shape and there aren’t any more in the grid, your turn is

FRACTIONFor this game you will need:

Game board1 die

2 game pieces (one for each player)Pencil and crayon

Directions:Students will roll a die and move that

many spaces on the game board. They will read the space they landed on and find that shape in the grid.

With their pencil they will first divide the shape and then shade in the correct fraction with a crayon.

Students will work together in this game to shade in ALL the pieces with the correct fraction. If a

student lands on a shape and there are no more left, their turn is

skipped.
