Shapes
Let us visit the shape land. Different shapes will introduce themselves:
Now, look at the shapes below:
Colour the shapes like the following:

What is Long? What is Round?
Long Shapes
Look around you! Some things are long, like a pencil or a ruler. They stretch from one end to the other. A bottle, a rope, and a train are also long in shape.
Round Shapes
Other things are round, like a ball or a coin. They are curved and have no corners. The sun, a plate, and a wheel are all round in shape.
Long and Round Shapes
Some things can even be long and round—like a rolling pin or a pipe! Let’s explore more long and round shapes around us!
Match the Shapes
- Let’s try a fun activity!
- Can you match objects that are similar in shape?
Some More Shapes
Join the dots to make some more plane shapes as shown. Write the names of the shapes in the given boxes.
What is Rolling?
- Have you ever played with a ball? When you push it, it rolls across the floor. Rolling means moving by turning round and round.
- Things that are round can roll easily, like a wheel, a marble, or an orange. But things that are flat or box-shaped, like a book or a toy block, do not roll.
What is Sliding?
- Have you ever gone down a slide at the park? You don’t roll—you slide straight down! Sliding means moving smoothly from one place to another without turning.
- Things that are flat or smooth can slide easily, like a book on a table, a coin on the floor, or an ice cube on a smooth surface.
Question: Encircle the objects that roll with a red crayon and the objects that slide with a green crayon.
Objects That Slide and Roll
- Some objects can both roll and slide! It depends on how you place or push them.
- For example, a cylinder (like a battery or a rolling pin) will roll if you push it on its curved side, but it will slide if you place it on its flat end and push it.
- A dice can also do both. If you push it gently, it slides on its flat side. But if you toss it, it rolls over its edges.
- Try this—take a bottle, a coin, or a tin can. Push them in different ways and see if they roll, slide, or both! Let’s explore how shapes help objects move!
- These are objects that are both round and long.
Question: Find whether the following objects roll, slide or do both.
