Place the same number of shapes as you have children in attendance around the outside of the class circle. Have the children stand inside the circle. Play music allowing the children to freely dance. Stop the music and the children must freeze in front of the nearest shape. Have a few children identify the shape they are standing in front of each time the music is stopped. Repeat this several times. This could be done in large group.
