Teaching 3D Shapes with Kinesthetic Activities

Make teaching 3D shapes a multi-sensory activity! The 3D Shapes Hop mat is a vibrant learning tool designed to help students recognize and decompose three-dimensional shapes. If you’re looking to make your 3d shapes lesson plans interactive and kinesthetic, this mat is for you!

The colorful mat displays six shapes, including a sphere, rectangular prism, cube, pyramid, cylinder, and cone. There is also a dedicated space to place one of the included 12 shape cards.

Each card features a composite shape. Students place the card on the mat and analyze the complex shape. Then, they identify the basic three-dimensional components that form it.

Use this mat with younger students in kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade for lessons on identifying and classifying 3D shapes. Incorporate hands-on activities for teaching 3D shapes and compound shapes to older elementary students. You can even use this mat with students in 5th and 6th grade who are calculating the area and volume of 3D and compound shapes.

At 38 inches wide and 114 inches long, this floor mat has ample space for multiple students to practice identifying 3D shapes at the same time. At the end of your 3D shapes lesson, plan to simply roll the mat up and store it away until the next geometry lesson!

Discover new interactive activities for teaching 3D shapes with this mat on our activity database. Access to this online resource is included with every purchase.

Perfect for classrooms, this durable mat makes spatial reasoning and shape recognition an engaging experience. Upgrade from the usual worksheets and make teaching 3D shapes a full-body activity that gets your students on their feet!

Frequently Asked Questions

Students move their bodies up and down the mat while identifying 3D shapes. The can step, jump, skip, or crawl on each block. Plus, students use the included composite shape cards to decompose shapes. The cards add another tactile element to 3D shapes lessons.

Phyical activity supports the development and maintenance of neural pathways. Increased blood flow delievers more oxygen to the brain, allowing it to function in the prime state for learning. Simple movement, such as having students walk around this mat, is extremely beneficial for comprehension and retention.
Students as young as kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade can use the mat to identify three-dimensional shapes. Older elementary students can use the mat and included cards to decompose composite shapes. Students in 5th and 6th grade can use the mat as a reference during lessons on area and volume of 3D shapes.
Yes! This mat is 38 inches wide and 114 inches long. Students can take turns hopping down the mat and reciting each shape name aloud. Other students on the sidelines can chant along while waiting for their turn to jump.

Challenge students to find objects that are the same shape as those on the mat. Place them on the mat and see how many you can find!

Teachers can also leave the mat out as a reference while students work on 3D shapes worksheets.

Educators can find more fun activities for teaching 3D shapes on our online activity database. Access is included with every purchase.
Ask students to identify the shape based off some given characteristics. Write the characteristics or questions about the shapes on notecards. Read the card aloud or have students pick a card and read it. Then, have students place the card on the correct shape. Some example phrases for the cards include:
  • This shape only has curved
  • This shape has five faces.
  • What shape has only one vertex?
  • Which shape’s name ends with an “r”?
Advanced concepts such as area, volume, angles, and geometric reasoning build on early shape recognition in elementary school.
