Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to identify different shapes and use them creatively to make a fun face drawing. The student will understand how shapes can come together to form recognizable objects.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Pencil or crayon
• Optional: Eraser for corrections

Before the lesson, ensure the student has a comfortable space to draw. Review basic shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles with the student.

Activities

• Shape Hunt: Start by going on a shape hunt around the house. Ask the student to find objects that are circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. This will help them recognize shapes in everyday life.

• Shape Face Drawing: Have the student draw a face using only shapes. For example, a circle for the head, triangles for the ears, and rectangles for the neck. Encourage them to be creative with their shapes!

• Shape Story: Ask the student to create a short story about their shape face. Who is this character? What do they like to do? This will help develop their imagination and storytelling skills.

• "Can you tell me a story about your shape face? What adventures do they go on?"
• "How many different faces can we make using different shapes? Let's try!"
• "What was your favorite part of making your shape face? Why did you like it?"
