The Shape Song
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
adapted by Mrs. Jones


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,
It has four sides,
They are the same.
A square is like a box!


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,
Two are long, and
Two are short.
A rectangle has 4 sides!
