Geometry Toss – Active Learning Game
An active game that encourages learning through a physical setting.
This teaching resource is a great way for students to apply their knowledge of geometric shapes and their attributes through physical activity.
In this fun, active game students must be the first to toss a beanbag onto the figure being described by their teacher.
Included in this resource are game instructions, 13 two-dimensional shape posters, and 7 three-dimensional object posters.
