Gray Out

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a shape-identification activity that features a column of shapes with smiling faces on the left and a column of plain shapes on the right. The shapes include a green square, a red triangle, and an orange circle, all with cartoonish, happy faces to engage the child’s interest. The child’s task is to draw lines from the shaped faces to the identical shapes on the right, which are depicted without faces and in grayscale. This setup is aimed at testing the child’s ability to recognize and match shapes despite changes in color and the addition of facial features.

The worksheet is designed to teach students to identify common geometric shapes and match them with identical counterparts. It helps develop the child’s visual discrimination skills by encouraging them to look past the differences in color and facial expressions to focus on the shape itself. The task also aids in reinforcing the child’s knowledge of shape names and properties by providing a direct comparison between different representations of the same shape. Furthermore, the act of drawing lines between the shapes supports the development of the child’s fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
