STORYTIME IDEASMac Barnett and Jon Klassen’s wry and resonant books about Triangle, Square, and Circle are perfect read-alouds for story hours. Use the following tips and activity pages to create a fun storytime event starring this award-winning geometric gang.
x After reading the books aloud, talk about the characters. Each shape has his/her own distinct personality—how would the kids describe each one? Which character does each child like best, and why?
z Discuss the endings of the three books. How would the kids answer each question posed?
v Have the children work together using their bodies to create each of the three shapes.
x Looking around your event space, have the kids notice and identify all the circles, squares, and triangles they can find.
z Write a group story about a fourth character, Rectangle.
v Invite kids to play each character and silently act out the stories as you read them aloud again.
x Play a game of hide and seek with the children, but make sure that—unlike Triangle—they all follow the rules!

SQUARE ARTCircle thinks Square is a genius—a sculptor who shapes blocks into art. In the space below, draw your own work of art using only squares.

CIRCLE GARLAND

A
Circle is very brave. She slips behind a waterfall and into a dark cave to rescue Triangle when he doesn’t follow the rules.
Make a banner to hang in your room to remind yourself to be brave,
like Circle.
Print this page on
card stock using a color printer. Cut out
the circles and tape them along a ribbon or string to spell Be-B-R-A-V-E.
Add Circle to your garland, too.

DRAW TRIANGLE, SQUARE, AND CIRCLEUse a pencil or crayon to draw two different versions of each character. How can you change their expressions just by where you draw the pupils of their eyes?
