  • Walk around the classroom to provide assistance and guidance as needed.
  • After the students have finished coloring, ask them to share their completed worksheets with a partner, discussing the shapes and colors they used.

Closure:

  • Gather the students back together as a whole group.

  • Encourage the students to continue practicing identifying shapes and colors in their everyday surroundings.
  • Conclude the lesson by singing a shape and color song or playing a quick game where students have to identify shapes and colors.
