SHAPES SONG FOR CHILDREN

There are many kinds of shapes

I see them everywhere

I love circles and rectangles

Triangles and squares

Circles!

When I go walking I see circles

Everywhere I go

A circle is round like a steering wheel

It’s shaped just like an “O”

Like the big bright sun

And a cinnamon bun

And the wheels on a bicycle

Round and round they go

Like a big balloon

Like the big full moon

How many kinds of circles 

Do you know?

Squares!

I see squares when we go to town

They’re everywhere you turn

They have four sides of the very same length

Let’s see what we can learn

Like a pizza box

And my toy blocks

Equal sides of 1,2,3,and 4

Like a picture frame

Or a windowpane

A square is just a shape that I adore

Triangles!

Here and there I find triangles

Look around and see

And a triangle has three sides

One and two and three

Like a pizza slice

A piece of pie is nice

How about a great big

Ice cream cone?

Like a volcano

Or the sail on my boat

Or a steeple, or the shape of the roof

That’s on my home

Rectangles!

I share my house

With a lot of rectangles

Let’s just take a look

With two sides long

And two sides short

They’re shaped just like a book

Like my front door

And the rug on my floor

Like a fridge, like a brick

Like a bed, like a stereo

Like a Kleenex box

And my grandfather clock

I see rectangles

Everywhere I go!

There are many kinds of shapes

I see them everywhere

I love circles and rectangles

Triangles and squares.
