Color Code Challenge

Worksheet Description

The “Coloring by Sides” worksheet is an interactive and colorful activity designed to help preschoolers recognize and understand the concept of sides in different shapes. This worksheet displays a variety of two-dimensional shapes such as triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons, and octagons, neatly arranged in rows. Each shape is drawn with bold lines to clearly demarcate its sides, making it easier for young learners to count them.

To add an element of fun and reinforce the learning process, the worksheet incorporates a color-coding system where each number of sides corresponds to a specific color: three sides are green, four sides are brown, five sides are red, six sides are yellow, seven sides are orange, and eight sides are pink. This not only teaches children about shapes but also about colors and following instructions. At the bottom of the worksheet, there’s a section titled “How Did You Do?” with smiley faces ranging from happy to sad, providing a non-verbal way for children to express their feelings about their performance. This feature is not only a check-in mechanism but also aids in cultivating emotional intelligence and self-assessment abilities at a young age.
