Learning Games About Circles for Young Kids

 Teaching your kids about shapes and need some ideas for learning about circles?

The best way to teach young kids the early maths skill of shape recognition is to let them see, feel and experience shapes in a hands-on, concrete way. There is no better way than by learning through play.

Try these fun games about circles with your preschoolers and kindergartners. They are suitable for home and school. 

Some can be played with one child, others with a small or large group of kids.

1. Hide and Seek

Play a game of Hide and Seek with a twist.

Make paper or cardboard cut-outs of circles and hide them in the garden, house or classroom. Let kids search for them. Hide enough shapes so that everyone has a chance to find a few. 

You can use the circles after the game for an art activity, such as pasting them onto paper to create a picture out of circles. Draw the details on with markers or crayons.

2. Find the Circles

For this game, instead of searching for hidden paper shapes, challenge kids to find items in their environment – the living room, classroom or garden – that have circular shapes.

Collect all the circular items and discuss them after the search. This is a great opportunity to teach children the vocabulary of shapes.

Here are examples of questions:

  • What do you call a three-dimensional circle?
  • Is this a circle or a sphere? (2D and 3D shapes)
  • Does it have straight or curved edges?
  • Is this item perfectly round? 
  • How many circular faces does this clock have?
  • Is it flat?
