The Shape Song (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


The Shape Song is a short nursery rhyme for children that makes learning basic shapes a playful experience. A circle rolls round without a straight side in sight, a square stands proud with its four equal sides, and a triangle invites little ones to count its three sides aloud. With a bouncy, repetitive rhythm, the poem turns shape recognition into an interactive moment — almost daring young readers to count along.

Circle, circle, round and round,
No straight sides can be found.
Square has sides that are the same,
Four in number, with a name.
Triangle has three sides, see?
Count them: one and two and three!
