(to the tune of: frere jacques)
This is a square, this is a square,
How can you tell? How can you tell?
It has four sides,
All the same size.
It's a Square, It's a Square.
This is a circle, this is a circle.
How can you tell? How can you tell?
It goes round and round,
No end can be found.
It's a circle, It's a circle.
This is a triangle, this is a triangle.
How can you tell? How can you tell?
It only has three sides,
That join to make three points.
It's a Triangle, It's a triangle.
This is a Rectangle, This is a rectangle.
How can you tell? How can you tell?
It has two short sides
And it has two long sides.
It's a rectangle, It's a rectangle.

(to the tune of: Twinkle, twinkle little star)

*Before beginning give each child whatever shape you will be singing about

Put your circle shape in the air,
Hold it high and keep it there.
Put your circle shape on your back,
Now please lay it on your lap.
Put your circle shape on your toes,
Now please hold it by your nose.
Hold your circle shape in your hand,
Now will everyone please stand.
Wave your your circle shape at the door,
Now please lay it on the floor
Hold your circle shape and jump, jump, jump,
Now throw your circle shape way, way up.

(to the tune of: Jingle Bells)

Triangles, triangles,
Have three sides.
Triangles, triangles,
Have three sides.
You can draw big triangles
In the air,
It is fun to use your hands
And make them anywhere.

(to the tune of: Have you ever seen a lassie)

Have you ever seen a circle, a circle, a circle?
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes round and round?
It rolls this way and that way, And that way and this way.
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes round and round?

(To the tune of: Do You Know The Muffin Man) Do you know what shape this is?
What shape this is? What shape this is?
Do you know what shape this is, I'm holding in my hand?
Note: Hold up a different shape each time and have your children yell out the shape.
