About this worksheet

Shapes Around Us: Labelling connects shape names to household and classroom objects for kindergarten, under Common Core K.G.1 and K.G.2. Six photos need labels from a five-word bank: a round wall clock, a slice of cheese pizza, a four-pane square window, a mailing envelope, a honeycomb cell, and a tall bedroom door. Rectangle is the answer twice, for the envelope and the door. A second section shows one classroom scene with a clock on the wall, a gift box on a desk, and a ball on the floor, and students identify each shape from a position clue such as above the desk.

Curriculum objectives covered

K.G.1

Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.

Part 1 names environment objects by shape, and Part 2's three questions each hang on a position phrase: above the desk, on top of the desk, below the desk.

K.G.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

The six photos vary size and setting, from a small honeycomb cell to a full-height door, and both the wide envelope and the tall door must be called rectangle.

What's inside this worksheet

Part 1: Label the Shapes

Six real-object photos get labeled from the word bank Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle, Hexagon: a wall clock, a pizza slice, a square window frame, an envelope, a honeycomb cell, and a wooden door. Rectangle appears twice in the answers.

Part 2: Shape Positions

One classroom picture, three checkbox questions tied to position words: the shape above the desk on the wall (circle clock), the shape on top of the desk (square gift box), and the shape below the desk on the floor (a round ball, circle).

How teachers use it

After a shape walk

Take the class on a five-minute shape hunt in the hallway, then hand out the sheet. The clock, window, and door items will match things students just pointed at.

Checking the double answer

Watch what happens at item 6. Students who used Rectangle for the envelope sometimes refuse to reuse it for the door; the word bank has no one-use rule, and saying so is the lesson.

Barrier-game speaking

Use the Part 2 picture for partner talk: one student describes a shape by position, the other points. The printed questions supply the sentence patterns.
