Washington International, Karachi, Pakistan
Materials Required: Blackboard and chalk
Activity Time: Ten minutes
Concepts Taught: Teaching shapes

I do the following song with my students when I have to teach them about shapes. They really enjoy the simple song and also learn at the same time.

Shapes
tune: Here we go round the mulberry bush

This is the way we make a circe
We make a circle we make a circle
This is the way we make a circle
All the way around
( I draw the shape on the board while singing the song along with the kids.)
This is the way we make a square
we make a square, we make a square,
This is the way we make a square
All the way round
(Again I draw the shape on the board while singing the song along with the kids.)
This is the way we make a rectangle
We make a rectangle, we make a rectangle
This is the way we make a rectangle
All the way round
(Again I draw the shape on the board while singing the song along with the kids.)
