Pizza Bake Off

Kindergarten Geometry
K.G.A.2: Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or
overall size.
1-4 players
Materials:
Pizza boards
2 dice: 1 with shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle, diamond, and
trapezoid), 1 with numbers 1-6.
Multiple pieces of each shape in various sizes
Object of the game: Fill each Pizza with the appropriate shapes (each pizza
has 10 shapes). Be the first player to obtain 5 pizzas
Rules:
Lay out all 20 pizzas as well as each bag of toppings
Roll both dice. The player may place the rolled number of their rolled
shape onto any pizza where there is an appropriate spot. For example,
if player 1 rolls a 3 and a triangle, they must put 3 triangles on any of
the pizzas with a designated triangle spot. The shapes may be split up
onto multiple different pizzas.
If there are no possible moves you may not complete your move and it
becomes the next players turn. (I.e. If there are only 2 available circle
topping spots within all pizzas still in play and you rolled 3 circles
you cannot place your third shape.)
If a player is the one to place the 10th topping on a pizza, they take that
pizza.
The first player to obtain 5 pizzas wins.
This game idea was inspired by the pizza toss game
