Shape Game for Mary Had a Little Lamb

This game is similar to Candy Land.  It can be played in a variety of ways
depending on the age or skill level of the children.

The point of the game is for the children to get their sheep to school
where Mary is.
Print the game board pages.  Cut them out and glue them to a 17" x 22"
piece of tag board connecting the pieces to make the game board as shown.  Laminate.  Print four pages of shape cards-1 and one page of shape
cards-2, cut and laminate the shape cards too.
Print the sheep.  Fold in half putting wrong sides together.  Now fold the bottom rectangles of the sheep out putting right sides together.  Glue the sheep sections together making a game piece.  These should stand on the game board as shown.
