Posting shapes

Physical Education

• The 4 year old student has developed hand-eye coordination by placing the shapes in the designated slots.
• Through the activity, the student has improved their gross motor skills by reaching out and placing the shapes in the corresponding holes.
• The use of shapes has introduced the concept of spatial awareness to the student, as they have to match the shapes with the correct cutouts.

For continued development, encourage the student to create their own shapes using cardboard or playdough, and have them place the shapes in different locations for variety. You can also incorporate music and ask the student to move to the beat while placing the shapes.
