Fingerplay: Shapes

Make a circle, make a circle,
Draw it in the sky.
Use your finger, use your finger,
Make it round as a pie.
Draw a square, draw a square,
Make the lines so straight.
Make a square, make a square,
Draw a box in the air.
Draw a triangle, draw a triangle, Always start at the top.
Make a tent, make a tent, Use three lines and stop!

 Shapes, shapes, shapes; shapes, shapes, shapes.

We love shapes, we love shapes.

There’re squares and circles for me and you,

Triangles, rectangles, ovals, too,

Hearts and diamonds, to name a few.

Yes, we love shapes.

Rhyming Poem: The Shape of Things 

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!

 Craft: Shape people
