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?
Hold up a shape each time and have the children call out the name of the shape.
The Shape Family
I am baby triangle, three sides have I. I am mama circle, Round like a pie. I am papa square, My sides are Four I am uncle rectangle, Shaped like a door.
The Shapes Song
Sing to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
Hold your circles high Triangles touch the ground Put your diamonds on your head Let's all spin around
Put your oval on your shoulder Hearts jump up and down All squares and stars and rectangles Bend and touch the ground.
Shapes
with curved sides fly up high Stars reach up to heaven Shapes with straight sides turn around Now let's sit again
Shapes
Sing to "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 rectangle. This is a rectangle. How can you tell? How can you tell? It has two long sides and two short sides. It's a rectangle. It's a rectangle.
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 has three sides that join to make three points. It's a triangle. It's a triangle.

What is a
circle?
What is round? A quarter rolling on the ground. A wheel is a circle, so is the moon, A bottle cap, or a big balloon.
What is a square, with sides the same? The wooden board for a checker game. A slice of cheese, a TV screen, A table napkin to keep you clean.
What is a rectangle, straight and tall? The door that stands within your wall. A dollar bill, a loaf of bread, The mattress lying on your bed.
What is a triangle, with sides of three? A peice of pie for you and me. A musical triangle, ding, ding, ding, A slice of pizza with everything!
These are the shapes seen everywhere: A triangle, rectangle, circle, square. If you look closely where you've been, You'll surely see
the shapes
you're in!
