Shapes Songs
The shape song
(Sung to Are You Sleeping)
This is a square X2
How can you tell X2
It has 4 sides
All the same size
It’s a square X2
This is a rectangle X2
How can you tell X2
It has two long sides
And two short sides
It’s a rectangle X2
This is a circle X2
How can you tell X2
It goes ‘round and around
No end to be found
It’s a circle X2
It’s a triangle X2
How can you tell X2
It has three sides X2
It’s a triangle X2
Do You Know What Shape This Is?
(sung to The Muffin Man)
Do you know what shape this is?
Shape this is? Shape this is?
Do you know what shape this is?
I’m holding in my hand? (hold up a different shape each time you sing)
If You’re Holding
(sung to If You’re Happy and You Know It)
Before singing, give each child a card with a shape to hold.
If you’re holding a square stand up!
If you’re holding a square stand up!
If you’re holding a square, if you’re holding a square
If you’re holding a square stand up.
* Repeat with other shapes
Where Is Triangle
(sung to Where Is Thumbkin)
Before singing, give each child a card with a shape to hold.
Where is triangle?
Where is triangle?
Here I am, here I am. (children holding triangles hold them in the air)
How are you today, sir?
Very well, I thank you,
Run away, run away. (children hide shape behind their back)
