Shape and Rainbow Hunt

Shape and Rainbow Hunt

Go outside. Give each child or child team a card with a shape on it. Ask the children to find the shape. Include a variety of shapes found in nature, circles, ovals, long thin ovals, triangles, and arrow heads. When they find the shape, they can trade their card for a new one. Try the same hunt with different colored cards. Have the children match colors found in nature.
