Summary/Abstract: Pre-school and early school age can be seen as a period in which the game is still the dominant need and desire of every child. On the other hand, this period represents a period of enormous potential of the spiritual, physical, socio-economic and intelligent development of a child. The complete development of a child's personality is possible only by respecting both of these components. This paper is devoted to the presentation of activities that are focused on the development of initial geometric concepts, which begins at pre-school age and continues throughout school age. When all examples of a particular term are found in the immediate environment of the child, we say that they are at the observational level and are called initial geometric concepts. The aim of all the above activities is the transformation of mathematical content which enables the acquisition and understanding of the meaning of initial geometric concepts. All mathematical terms are at the observational level during the pre-school period and the first two grades of the primary school. The discovery of these terms is realized first through contact with the real environment, then through iconic representations, and the ultimate goal is to create the basis for the development of more abstract modes of thinking.
