I teach fourth grade geometry, so I'm sure it's a little different, but these are a few things I have done in the past. Last year, I started by discussing all the different shapes we see in our environment. Students made
their own Geometry dictionaries- had a separate page for each polygon and wrote the definition of each polygon as well as several hand-drawn examples of it. Decorated and took home. Other activities I have done in the past-

1) Toothpick angles- had students glue toothpicks in the form of the the basic angles

2) Stained glass windows- gave students black construction paper; students

folded into fourths and cut out polygon shapes in it; then glued tissue paper over the shapes made to form stained glass window.

3) Simon Says- taught students body positions for rays, lines, line segments and so on; played Simon Says.

Sorry this is so late. Hopefully this helps you-- if not now-- in the future!
