The com­bi­na­tion of Flan­nel Fri­day and Pin­ter­est has made it easy for me to keep track of flan­nel­boards I’ve made and also let cowork­ers know they exist and are avail­able. With that in mind, I show you my very sim­ple shapes that go with the song below. I like it because it is is easy for kids (and par­ents) to learn and helps iden­tify both shapes and colours.

The Shapes
…to the tune of Lon­don Bridge
(Source: PUBYAC compilation)

All the squares have four sides,
have four sides, have four sides.
All the squares have four sides,
and this one is red.

A tri­an­gle has three sides,
Has three sides, has three sides.
A tri­an­gle has three sides
and this one is green.

All the cir­cles are very round,
Very round, very round.
All the cir­cles are very round.
and this one is brown.

Rec­tan­gles are extra tall
Extra tall. Extra tall.
Rec­tan­gles are extra tall
And this one is blue.

Dia­mond shapes are very sharp,
Very sharp, very sharp.
Dia­mond shapes are very sharp
and this one is white.

I found another Lon­don Bridge vari­a­tion, with­out colours, on Sto­ry­time Katie:

“I Can See Shapes”
I can see a cir­cle shape, cir­cle shape, cir­cle shape
I can see a cir­cle shape, how about you?
(Lit­tle square, tri­an­gle, rec­tan­gle, dia­mond)
