This is a fun activity that can be mobile or done while seated.
Print off a set of shape "flashcards". Print on cardstock or laminate for durability. Cut apart.
To play the game: The first player draws a card. The player reads the shape. Then each player takes turns "spying" something in that room in that shape. For example, if the card is a circle. The player says "Circle." Then the player might point to a clock in that room. The game continues until all shapes have been found. Everyone wins; this game focuses on turn taking.
*Variations- you can go on a "hunt" throughout the house looking for items of that shape.
If you are making this for a busy bag swap, each participant would get a set of cards (on card stock or laminated) and the set of directions (to play game & variations) in their bag.
Printable shape flashcards can be found here. Print both pages (2 of them) for a complete set. They are slightly different from the ones pictured above. The ones pictured above are from a download that I purchased from Confessions of a Homeschooler, but I am not allowed to share that download.
