Ten 2D shapes in mixed order, each with a box beside it for its name, and a word bank at the top with every answer: circle, heart, hexagon, oval, pentagon, rectangle, rhombus, square, star and triangle. Children match each picture to a word and copy it, which practises reading and writing as well as shapes. Count the sides of the trickier ones to tell a pentagon (5) from a hexagon (6). Page 2 is the answer key.
