Instructions
1. Copy the poem below onto chart paper, giving each stanza its own section, and recite it with the children2. Invite the children to make the shapes and movements, using their hands or bodies. Practice making a variety of shapes with the children before doing the rhyme.A circle, a circle,Let's all form a circle.A shape so roundIt rolls on the groundAnd can form a ringAround anything!A triangle, a triangle,Let's all form a triangle.A space with peaksLike birds and their beaks,Or let's be finsOn fish that swim.A heart, a heart,Let's all make a heart.A shape so fine,Like a Valentine,Or what grows on trees,Pretty little leaves.A square, a square,Let's all form a square.A shape that's tameEach side is the same,They make a great box,And lots of fun blocks.
3. Take photos of the children as they create the shapes. Hang the photos around the room.
