Shapes Song
A cheerful shape sing-along that introduces the circle, square, triangle, oval, star, and rectangle one by one, with a simple description of each. Everyday examples, like a slice of pie, a jelly bean, and a book, help children spot shapes all around them.

Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
A circle!
A circle is round, round, round
It goes around, round, round
It has no corners and no sides
It loops and rolls and spins and glides
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
A square!
A square has sides, four, four, four
The same on every side, not more!
It has four corners, sharp and neat
A shape you see on every street!
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
A triangle!
A triangle has sides, one, two, three
It's pointy at the top, you'll see!
Just like a slice of yummy pie
Or a roof up in the sky!
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
An oval!
An oval's like a flattened ball
It's like a circle, only tall!
It looks like eggs and jelly beans
A shape you'll see in snacks and dreams
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
A star!
A star has points, one, two, three
Then four and five, as you will see!
It shines up high and twinkles bright
A glowing shape you see at night
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
A rectangle!
If you see four corners, it just might be
That it's a rectangle you see
Two sides are short and two are long
Like beds and books where dreams belong
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Now you've learned your shapes today
You'll spot them as you play and play!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Everything that you might see
Has a shape, what could it be?
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
Shapes are here, both big and small
Come and learn, we'll name them all!
Circle, square, and triangle
Oval, star, and rectangle!
