Your next great Lessn starts here.

Welcome to Shapes and Colors! – Greeting with a bright smile – Today’s topic: Shapes by Color – ‘Classify’ means ‘to sort’ – Sorting means putting things that are alike together – Grouping shapes by color – Like putting all red shapes in one group | Begin the class with a warm and engaging smile to create a welcoming atmosphere. Introduce the concept of classification in a way that is relatable to Pre-K students by explaining that ‘classify’ means to sort or group things that are similar. Use simple and clear language to ensure understanding. Demonstrate the idea of classification by grouping objects by color, which is a familiar and visually stimulating activity for young learners. Encourage the children to think about how they might sort their toys or crayons at home to connect the concept to their personal experiences. Prepare to show examples of colored shapes and guide the students through hands-on activities where they will practice classifying shapes by color.

Learning Shapes and Colors – What are shapes? – Name shapes: Circle, Square, Triangle – A circle is round, a square has 4 equal sides, a triangle has 3 sides – Find shapes in the classroom – Look around to see if you can find any circles, squares, or triangles – Use body to make shapes – Can you make a circle or a square with your arms? | Introduce the concept of shapes to the students by showing them different shapes and naming them. Encourage the children to repeat the names after you. Then, engage the students by asking them to identify similar shapes around the classroom, which helps them connect the concept to real-world objects. To make the learning process interactive and fun, use hand gestures and body movements to mimic the shapes. For example, you can all make a big circle with your arms or use your fingers to create a triangle. This kinesthetic activity will help reinforce their understanding of shapes. Be prepared with examples of each shape to show and clear instructions for the body movements to ensure the children can easily follow along.

Exploring Colors with Shapes – Learn colors from a rainbow – Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet – Identify classroom objects’ colors – ‘What color is the clock?’ – Sing a color song together – ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It, Say a Color!’ – Match colors with shapes – ‘Find a red circle or a blue square’ | This slide is designed to introduce Pre-K students to the concept of colors through interactive and engaging activities. Start by showing them a picture of a rainbow and naming each color. Then, engage the children by pointing to various objects in the classroom and asking them to identify the colors. Incorporate a simple color song to the tune of a familiar melody like ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’ but with colors to make the learning process enjoyable. Finally, have a variety of colored shapes available and encourage the children to match the colors with the shapes, reinforcing their understanding of both color and shape classification. This multi-sensory approach helps young learners to grasp the concept of colors more effectively.

Matching Shapes and Colors – Identify shapes in colors – What color is the circle? – Use colored shape cutouts – Touch and see different colored shapes – Raise hand to participate – Recognize and match correctly – Can you find a red square? | This slide is aimed at helping Pre-K students learn to classify shapes by color. Display various shapes in different colors and ask the students to name both the color and the shape. Use physical cutouts of shapes like circles, squares, and triangles in colors such as red, blue, and yellow for a tactile learning experience. Encourage active participation by having students raise their hand before answering. This activity will help students with color recognition, shape identification, and following classroom rules like taking turns to speak. It’s a fun and interactive way to reinforce their understanding of colors and shapes.

Classifying Shapes by Color – Sort shapes using colors – Find objects of different shapes and colors – Same color shapes together – All red shapes go in one group, all blue in another – Use simple words and repeat – Fun color grouping activity – Example: Red circles with red squares, blue triangles with blue rectangles | This slide introduces the concept of classifying shapes by color, a fundamental skill in early math education. Start by demonstrating with real objects, such as colored blocks or cutouts, to visually show how to group shapes by color. Emphasize that shapes with the same color belong together, reinforcing the concept of classification. Use simple and clear language, and be prepared to repeat the instructions to ensure understanding. Engage the children in a hands-on activity where they can practice sorting shapes into groups based on color. This activity helps develop their ability to recognize similarities and differences, as well as their fine motor skills. Make the activity enjoyable and encourage participation from all students.

Let’s Practice Together: Colorful Shapes! – Interactive drag & drop activity – Volunteers sort shapes by color – Who wants to be the first to sort the shapes? – Celebrate every attempt – Clap for trying, whether it’s right or wrong! – Learn from our mistakes – It’s okay to make mistakes, we’ll fix them together! | This slide introduces an interactive class activity designed to help Pre-K students classify shapes by color. Set up a digital or physical drag and drop activity where students can move shapes into buckets that match the color of the shape. Encourage participation by asking for volunteers and make sure to create a supportive atmosphere by praising all efforts. If a student makes a mistake, gently guide them to the correct answer. This activity not only reinforces color recognition and shape classification but also promotes fine motor skills and peer learning. Possible variations of the activity could include sorting by shape size or grouping by the number of sides a shape has.

Class Activity: Colorful Shape Sorting! – Receive shape cutouts – Sort shapes by color – Put all the red shapes together, then blue, and so on – Teachers will help during activity – Discuss the sorted groups – Talk about the colors and shapes you see | In this engaging class activity, students will practice classifying shapes based on color, which helps them understand sorting and categorization. Distribute an assortment of colored shape cutouts to each student. Encourage them to observe the colors and sort the shapes into separate groups accordingly. As they work, walk around the classroom to offer assistance and positive reinforcement. Once everyone has sorted their shapes, have a discussion about the different colors and shapes they’ve grouped. This will reinforce their learning and allow them to demonstrate their understanding. Possible variations of the activity could include sorting by shape or size, using the activity to introduce new vocabulary, or incorporating counting exercises for each color group.

Show and Tell: Colorful Shapes – Present your sorted shapes – Explain your shape groups – Why did you put certain shapes together? – Listen and learn from friends – Celebrate everyone’s work! | This slide is for a class activity where students will present the shapes they have sorted by color to the rest of the class. Encourage them to explain their thought process on why they grouped the shapes in a particular way, which helps reinforce their understanding of classification. Provide a supportive environment where efforts are applauded and positive feedback is given to build confidence. As students present, encourage active listening among the class to foster a collaborative learning atmosphere. Prepare to offer guidance and celebrate each child’s contribution to the learning experience.

Review and Goodbye: Shapes and Colors – Recap shapes and colors – Let’s remember the shapes and colors we learned today. – Sing the color song together – Singing helps us remember colors better! – Wave goodbye to friends – Peek at our next adventure – Next time, we’ll explore more fun with numbers! | As we conclude today’s lesson on classifying shapes by color, take a moment to review all the shapes and colors we’ve learned. Engage the children by asking them to name the shapes and colors they recall. Sing the color song once more to reinforce the learning in a fun and musical way. This also helps with memory retention. Say a warm goodbye to the students, ensuring they feel a sense of accomplishment. Give them a sneak peek into the next lesson to pique their interest and encourage them to look forward to learning more about math, such as introducing numbers and counting. Make sure to provide positive feedback and celebrate their participation today.
