About this worksheet
Big dotted shapes to trace and a box to draw each one. Fewer has 3 shapes, Standard 4 and More adds the hexagon.
What kids practice
Kindergartners learn to name flat shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon) and solid shapes (cube, cone, cylinder, sphere). They also learn position words like above, below, beside, in front of and behind to tell where things are.
Watch for
- Calling a square that's turned on its corner a diamond. It's still a square.
- Mixing up flat and solid. A circle is flat, a ball is a sphere.
- Mixing up in front of and behind, especially from the child's own point of view.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page. See the full shapes and position words guide for kindergarten.
