2D Shapes Puzzles for Kindergarten & Year 1 – Fun Geometry Games

2D Shapes

Looking for a fun way to teach 2D shapes? These printable 2D Shapes Puzzles are perfect for Kindergarten, Pre-primary, and early primary classrooms. They’re hands-on, engaging, and designed to help students truly understand the features of 2D shapes.

If you’re after more hands-on ways to build geometry skills, don’t miss our 2D Shapes Activities for Foundation–Year 2 collection for even more printable fun. 

What’s Included?

Our 2D shape clip cards are themed, easy to prep, and great for building visual discrimination skills. Each puzzle card encourages students to:

  • Focus on the number of sides and type of lines (straight or curved)
  • Identify and name 2D shapes, including circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, rhombuses, and more
  • Match the shape to its shadow using pegs or clips

Perfect for independent work, small groups, rotations, or early finishers!

Want to take your maths wall to the next level? Pair these puzzles with our 2D Shape Posters for Classroom Display for extra visual support.

Learning Outcomes

These puzzles help students:

  • Recognise and name common 2D shapes correctly (including clearing up misconceptions like calling a rhombus a “diamond”)
  • Identify shapes in everyday objects and the environment
  • Describe 2D shapes based on features like sides, vertices, and edges
  • Develop classification and comparison skills using visual clues
  • Understand shape features in line with the Australian Curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 3

Differentiated for Multiple Year Levels

We’ve included variations in the puzzles so you can easily differentiate based on your students’ abilities:

  • Basic shape puzzles – perfect for Foundation
  • Feature-focused puzzles – ideal for Year 1 & 2
  • Classification puzzles – great for extending into Year 3

Whether you’re introducing basic shapes or going deeper into geometry, these puzzles make the process playful and effective.
