5. Draw shapes (circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, and diamonds) in the spaces. Feel free to use shapes more than once.
6. The children can color in the spaces using crayons.
7. Using a smaller piece of tagboard, make a spinner. Draw a large circle on the board and then divide it into four sections.
