Squares
A straight line here,
A straight line there.
Draw two more
And you’ll get a square!
The shape of a window,
The shape of a box,
The shape of a picture frame
But not of a fox!
Make your lines even,
Make them straight,
And your square
Will turn out great!
|
Rectangles
Two lines short,
Two lines long,
Make your rectangle
Straight and strong.
Four sharp corners
Like the edge of a table
Now your rectangle
Is proud and able!
I see one in a the door,
And one in a book,
Rectangles are everywhere
Just take a look!

Circles
Round and round
Line the wheels on a car
Without the shape of circles
We’d not get very far!
Put your pencil on your paper
And slowly draw around
And a circle will appear
Without a sound.
Round like the earth,
Round like a cup
Round like your jacket buttons –
Better button up!
|
Ovals
Just like a circle
But squashed on the sides
An oval is flat
And fat with pride.
Your two eyes are ovals,
And so is your face,
An Easter egg is oval-shaped
And wobbles all over the place!
