Students answer questions and compete in a quiz show-style game. There are rounds of one point, double points and triple points—each one more exciting than the last! As the competition heats up, students must stay sharp to climb the leaderboard. Who will finish with the most points and unlock the prize?

In this version, students name a variety of 2D shapes and identify them in real-life environments. From basic shapes like circles and triangles to more complex polygons, this activity helps build essential geometry vocabulary and supports visual reasoning through meaningful, context-based questions.

Let’s Quiz – 2D Shape Names is ideal for Foundation to Year 2 students learning about 2D shapes and their features. Use it as a whole-class challenge, in small groups, or independently with the QR code for fun and focused maths revision.
