Name the Shape
A shape appears · circle, hexagon, rhombus, trapezoid · and you pick its name. Geometry vocabulary, one tap at a time
About PlayMemorize Name the Shape
Name the Shape is a simple, friendly geometry game. A single figure is drawn on screen · a circle, a hexagon, a rhombus, a trapezoid · and you pick its name from a few options. Build a streak by naming each one correctly; a single wrong answer ends the run.
What it trains. Shape vocabulary is the foundation of early geometry. Recognising and naming polygons by their number of sides · and telling a square from a rhombus or a rectangle from a trapezoid · is a skill children build through repetition, and a quick refresher for everyone else.
Gets harder as you go. Easy rounds stay among the everyday shapes (circle, square, triangle, star). As difficulty climbs, the less familiar polygons join in · pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, trapezoid · and more name choices appear.
Translated into all 25 languages, so the shape names are in your language. Part of the PlayMemorize family · runs in your browser and works offline as a Progressive Web App.
FAQ
-
What is Name the Shape?
A geometry-vocabulary game: a shape is drawn and you choose its correct name from a few options, building a streak as you go. -
Which shapes appear?
Everyday shapes like circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval and star, plus polygons named by their sides · pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon · and the rhombus and trapezoid. -
Is it good for young children?
Yes. The easy rounds use the basic shapes most children learn first, and there is no reading of the question · just look at the shape and tap its name. The shape names are translated into every supported language. -
How does it get harder?
Higher difficulty brings in the less common shapes and adds more name choices, so a hexagon is no longer an easy guess between three obvious options. -
How does my progress save?
Your best streak is stored locally in your browser. Sign in to sync it across devices. -
