This 3d shape lesson engages students through: total physical response, hands on learning, and peer modeling which are all great esl teaching strategies. The rotating cube, pyramid, sphere, cone, cylinder, and rectangular prism are great visual aides that make the 3d shapes appear 3d and not like 2d shapes.
This is a 3d shape activity for kindergarten. It utilizes Total Physical Response (TPR) and Hands On Learning. These along with the embedded peer modeling are great ESL teaching strategies. Practice 3d shapes and their names. Lesson for 3d geometric figures. Good video for identifying 3d shapes. Helps students define solid shapes. A 3d shape song is a good hook or transitional piece for the lesson, but this activity gives the kids real world reps with the actual 3d shapes. Plus a 3d shape on a 2d surface is very hard for kids to comprehend. That’s why we show the 3d shape rotating, so the kids visually see its solid nature. This activity is suitable for transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, first grade, or even preschool. This is 3d shapes for first grade.
