Fingerplay: Shadow Guessing Game Flashcards
*You can do this with any kind of shape and item you want. I have a square shape and on the other side of it I have a square-shaped clock. This is a great flashcard game you can use and the kids love guessing what my items are!
Hiding Game: Cow Hiding in Barn
*I have three different barns with shapes on them. I have an animal inside and ask the kids to tell me what shape they see. Then I will open up that barn to reveal the animal inside.
