Giant Shape Sort
Setting: Would
work best in a large area such as a living room or cleared out classroom.
Materials:
Masking tape
Objects around
the house
Instructions:
Use masking tape to make large shapes on
the floor (triangle, circle, square, rectangle)
Allow the person to hunt for the shapes
around the house
Sort each item according to its shape and
place it inside the giant taped shape.
Purpose: The purpose of this activity would be to
get the individual to problem solve and identify different shapes. Problem
solving and identification will also be needed later on in school or work
settings. Upper and lower extremity range of motion is needed in order to move
around to get the objects. Grasp and upper extremity strength is needed in
order to grab the objects and bring it over to the taped shape on the floor. Balance
is needed to shift the person’s own weight while walking around to identify
objects.
