---
##### Materials Needed:
- Chart papers
- Colored markers and crayons
- Cut-out shapes (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles)
- Real objects (ball, box, book, toy car, etc.)
- Glue sticks and construction paper
- Whiteboard and markers
---
##### Introduction (10 minutes):
1. **Greeting and Warm-up:**
- Welcome the students warmly. Start with a brief icebreaker involving a song about shapes.
2. **Discussion:**
- Ask the students if they can name some everyday objects they see around them.
- Briefly introduce the concept of shapes and objects, explaining that objects can be made up of different shapes.
---
##### Direct Instruction (15 minutes):
1. **Objects and Their Shapes:**
- Show real objects (ball, box, book, toy car) and discuss their shapes.
- Use chart paper to list common shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and draw them.
2. **Shape Identification:**
- Show cut-out shapes and ask students to name them.
- Relate the cut-out shapes to the objects shown earlier (e.g., “A ball is like a circle.”).
---
##### Guided Practice (10 minutes):
1. **Interactive Activity:**
- Distribute cut-out shapes and chart papers to students. Ask them to group shapes that are the same.
- Call on volunteers to place their cut-out shapes on the corresponding drawn shapes on the whiteboard.
2. **Shape Hunt:**
- Engage students in a brief "Shape Hunt" around the classroom, looking for objects that match the shapes discussed.
---
##### Independent Activity (7 minutes):
- Hand out construction paper and colored markers/crayons to each student.
- Instruct students to create a picture using at least three different shapes. For example, they might draw a house with a square base, a triangular roof, and circular windows.
---
##### Conclusion and Review (3 minutes):
- Review the shapes and objects by asking a few students to show and describe their drawings.
- Thank students for their participation and praise their creativity.
---
##### Assessment:
- Informal observation during activities to assess understanding.
- Review of students’ drawings to ensure they incorporated different shapes.
---
##### Extension Activities:
1. **Shape Stories:**
- Encourage students to create a short story using their shape drawings.
2. **Craft Time:**
- Continue the lesson with a small craft project, such as making a shape collage.
---
##### Reflection:
- Discuss with students what they enjoyed most about the lesson.
- Reflect on any challenges faced during the lesson and consider adjustments for future classes.
