This song is available Mar Harman's "Math with Mar."
In this activity, children will watch and listen as the teacher demonstrates drawing the shape in the air and making a sound. The children then draw the shape and make the sound. For repetition, both teacher and children draw and sing the shape a third time.
If you do not want to draw in the air, the children can have a visual on their desk that has the four shapes and they can trace the shape with their fingers. -- Mar. Harman
We know our shapes so here’s what we’ll do
We’ll draw our shapes and sing them, too
A circle has one line.
One line that’s round
Start at the top
and make this sound
Whoop! (Whoop)
One round line
Whoop!
A square has four sides
that are all the same
Say this sound 4 times
to play this game
Wo Wo Wo Wo
Wo Wo Wo Wo
4 same sides on a square
A rectangle has 4 sides like a square
Two are short, two are long.
Draw them in the air
Wo WHEW Wo WHEW
Wo WHEW Wo WHEW
2 long, 2 short
rectangle
Wo whew, wo whew
A triangle is different;
Its sides are three
Draw 3 sides
and make this sound with me.
Ting, Ting, Ting
Ting, Ting, Ting Triangle has 3 sides
Ting, Ting, Ting
We know our shapes.
Yes we do.
We can draw them and sing, them, too!
