Rectangular Prism: any box (like a shoe box or a packing box).
Triangular Prism: We're not supposed to give personal answers, but I can't help it with this. When I was growing up, our front door's window had a triangular prism beveled around its edges. What made it so remarkable was that it broke up the light into a rainbow of colors on the floor.
Cylinder. Many drinking glasses are in the shape of a cylinder. Also old fashioned water towers were cylindrical in shape.
Cone: a kitchen funnel is an upside down cone. Some funnels don't have a spout, so that makes them true cones.
Pyramid: The pyramids for the Pharaohs in Egypt.
Sphere: Any ball (beach ball, baseball basketball soccer. Some storage shapes for spices -- technically not a perfect sphere). Planets. The sun. (The earth is almost a perfect sphere).
