Shape Safari for Ages 2-4

Name it, then count its sides.

Shape Safari goes past simple shape naming into shape properties: how many sides a shape has, how many corners, and which shape fits a description. Knowing that a hexagon is the one with six sides rather than the flat one is what makes shape knowledge useful later in geometry.

The 2-4 level sticks to the four basic shapes, circle, square, triangle and rectangle, and asks only for names, drawn at the largest size on screen.

What it teaches

• Naming 2D shapes
• Counting sides and corners
• Identifying shapes by their properties
• Recognising shapes regardless of colour or rotation

How to play

1. Read the question at the top of the screen.
2. Some rounds show a shape and ask for its name.
3. Some ask which shape has a given number of sides.
4. Tap your answer to move on.
