Ways to use these shape flashcards in Spanish

Play memory games

Print out two sets of Spanish number flashcards. Cut out the cards and shuffle them up. Lay them face down on a surface. Take turns flipping over cards to find matching numbers.

Shape scavenger hunt

A great way to learn the shapes is by playing a scavenger hunt. Below are two ways you can play a scavenger hunt at home or in your classroom today.

Hide the shape of flashcards throughout your house, or classroom. Have your child take a basket, or bag, and go around the room to collect the shapes.

Or, you could also draw a shape flashcard, and have your child go hunt for things around the house that are that particular shape. These will help young children learn the concept of shapes.

Playdough shapes

Provide playdough and have your child make similar shapes using the different flashcards as examples.

Salt writing

A salt writing tray is great prewriting practice for young kids.

Pour some salt (or sand, sugar, flour, etc.) into a small tray. Shuffle the shape flashcards and put them face down. Have your child flip over a card and draw the shape in the sand using their pointer finger.

To erase the shape, gently shake the tray.

Car call-outs

Keep a set of Spanish shape flashcards in the car. On your next car ride or road trip, draw from the printable cards and see if your child can find that shape outside of the car.

Musical shapes

This is a great activity to learn the shapes in your classroom.

Place the shapes in a circle around the room.

Put on a song and have your children walk in a circle around the shapes. When the music stops, have your children find a shape to stand on. Go around the room and ask the children what shape they are standing on.

Once they all repeat which number, remove a shape and see who is the last student standing.

Shape draw and cut

Provide paper and scissors to your child. Draw a from the card from the free printable shapes flash cards set and have your child draw the shape on a piece of paper. Then, have them cut it out. Your child is learning languages, learning shapes and practicing fine motor cutting skills.
Shape patterns

Select two to three shapes from the flashcards and create a pattern. Have your child continue that pattern on a piece of paper.

For best results, keep all of these activities in Spanish to encourage language use among your young learners.
