Help your students discover 2D shapes and 3D objects in the world around them with this Maths craft activity. We have also included a digital version of this resource suitable for distance learning.
Give your students the template of your choice and set them off in search around the classroom. This is a fun way to do a shape hunt and allows for different types of learners to be engaged.
How this resource works:
We have included templates for individual 2D shapes and 3D objects if you are just focusing on a shape/object at a time. However, if you want students to work on all 2D shapes or 3D objects, we have included a template where they can look for them in the environment and match the shapes they find to the properties of that shape (this makes a cute classroom display).
To make this resource a little more interactive, you may want to cut a hole in the lens of the camera so the students can feel like they are taking an actual photograph as they move around (a hole punch works perfectly).
Finally, at end of the resource, we have included an alternative template where the students need to attach the clipart to their work.
Digital version: students investigate their environment, take photographs and insert them onto their google template.
Assessment Opportunity:
This is a great lesson to use during explicit teaching but would also lend itself to an assessment as well. We have included blank ‘Who am I?’ cards for students to create their own list of properties for the shapes they find for this purpose (it also works as an ideal extension option).

•2D shape hunt with matching shape property flaps (+ blank flaps)
•Circle hunt template

We hope you and your students enjoy this resource!

This was perfect to have students identify real world shapes to recall the needed vocab!
This is a great way to strengthen students math skills with fun and engaging activities. I used some as center activities as well.
My students enjoyed going on the hunt for 3D shapes. This was a great project for them.
My students love this and it makes a great display!
Great resource and fun for the kids to use. I also created a document with real life picture of objects to put into the frames.
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
This was just what I needed. We used it in Buddy Class so the older students could help the little ones find shapes and draw them. It saved me loads of time and the students were engaged. Thank you!
My students loved this activity! They had fun doing the scavenger hunt around the school and sharing the shapes they found.
My students absolutley loved this!! Great resource!
An engaging resource for my students to practise identifying different shapes & objects.

A great and fun interactive activity!
This was a fun way to practice shapes and a great hallway display!!
A great resource used for homeschooling
A little time consuming but so worth it for how awesome they look - my kids loved making these snapshots to challenge their shape nowledge!
Students were very engaged!
Great, thank you!
Loved this activity! My kids were able to do critical thinking when identifying 2D and 3D objects around them. Some of the kids were able to think of simple items while others thought of more complex items in their lives. Such a great activity for first grade, especially the 2D portion, but my students loved the 3D portion and being able to compare their choices with other students.
This is so awesome to hear! We love that it was a great activity for your first graders!! Thanks for sharing Dani!
I left this as enrichment to a math lesson for a sub and she said they all loved it.
This was a fun resource for students to showcase their learning of 3D objects. The resource could be differentiated so that students matched the 3D object attributes or write their own. Using this resource in Australia, I wish the resource was editable because we use the term 'vertices' instead of 'corners' and one of the 'who am I?' cards classified a curved surface as a face.
I love it
Thank you!
My students really enjoyed these activities during distance learning. It got them up and moving around, rather than sitting in front of Zoom for ages. They would come back to me with ideas and it was easy for me to gauge their understanding.
My students really enjoyed going on the shape hunt!
Thank you for the feedback, Victoria!
My students loved using this resource around the classroom as it was a fun way to assess what they have learnt about 2D shapes and how they can see shapes everywhere other than just 'during maths time'
I'm sure I will use this resource over and over.
We love hearing about engaged and happy students learning with our resources! Thank you, Caitlin.
Great resource to use during our shape unit
Thanks for the feedback, Alison.
Great resource!

Students loved the idea of 'taking a photo' of the shapes they could see around the school.
Yay! Thanks for your feedback, Amy.
