Such a fun, engaging resource I used with my Year 2 class! Enabled them to practise identifying 2D shapes in a fun, play-based way. – Teach Starter teacher, Dilek.

To play this game, the teacher or student will draw a calling card and read it to the class. Students will then look at their gameboards to see if one of the depictions on their board is an equivalent representation. Students will place counters over their board as needed. The first person to get 5 in a row is the winner! Play on for a full-card winner.
