Here are some songs to help children learn about shapes
Circle Song
(to the tune of: "If You're Happy and You Know It")
A circle is a shape that goes round.
(to the tune of: "If You're Happy and You Know It")
A circle is a shape that goes round.
A circle is a shape that goes round.
A circle is a shape that goes round,
And round and round.
A circle is a shape that goes round.

Make A Square (to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
From the bottom to the top,
From the bottom to the top,
Straight across and then you stop,
Straight down to the bottom again,
Across and stop where you began,
If the lines are the same size,
Then a square is you surprise.

This Is a Triangle (to the tune of: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
This is a triangle,
This is a triangle,
Look and you will see.
It has three corners and three sides.
Count them one, two, three!
____________________________________________
It's a Rectangle (to the tune of: "B-I-N-G-O")
There is a shape that has four sides,
There is a shape that has four sides,
But it is not a square...No!
It's a rectangle; It's a rectangle;
It's a rectangle; It is not like a square...No!
Two sides are long; two sides are short.
Two sides are long; two sides are short.
They are not the same...No!
It's a rectangle; It's a rectangle;
It's a rectangle; The sides are not the same...No!

Shape Song (to the tune of: "The Farmer in the Dell")
A circle's like a ball,A circle's like a ball,
A circle's like a ball,A circle's like a ball,
Round and round it never stops.
A circle's like a ball!
A square is like a box, A square is like a box,
A square is like a box, A square is like a box,
It has four sides, They are the same.
A square is like a box!
A triangle has 3 sides, A triangle has 3 sides,
A triangle has 3 sides, A triangle has 3 sides,
Up the mountain, Down, and back.
A triangle has 3 sides!
A rectangle has 4 sides, A rectangle has 4 sides,
A rectangle has 4 sides, A rectangle has 4 sides,
Two are long, and Two are short.
A rectangle has 4 sides!
