Shape Hunt
Parent and child hunt for shapes around the house — circles, squares, triangles. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's ability to identify, name, and find shapes in the environment, building spatial and geometric understanding.

What you'll need
No special materials. Move through the house together looking for shapes. Child should be mobile and verbal enough to point and name.
How it works
- 1~30s
Let's start with circles. Say 'We're looking for circles — things that are round!' Point to a clock, a plate, a wheel, a button — anything round. Find two or three circles together. Then ask your child: 'Can YOU find a circle?' Does they point to something round?
Watch for: Child identifies and points to a shape in the environment when asked to find one.
- 2~30s
Now let's hunt for squares and triangles! 'Squares have four equal sides — like a window or a book!' and 'Triangles have three sides — like a roof or a pizza slice!' Can your child find one of each? Does they know which is which?
Watch for: Child distinguishes between different shapes, finding correct examples of squares and triangles.
- 3~20s
For the last challenge, point to various objects and ask your child: 'What shape is this?' for a plate (circle), a book (rectangle), a slice of cheese (triangle). Can your child name the shapes? Even approximate words count — 'round' for circle, 'pointy' for triangle.
Watch for: Child names shapes correctly or uses descriptive words for shape properties.
