A circle’s like a ball, A circle’s like a ball,
Round and round It never stops.
A circle’s like a ball!
A square is like a box, A square is like a box,
It has four sides, They are the same.
A square is like a box!
A triangle has 3 sides, A triangle has 3 sides,
Up the mountain, Down, and back.
A triangle has 3 sides!
A rectangle has 4 sides, A rectangle has 4 sides,
Two are long, and Two are short.
A rectangle has 4 sides!
It’s a Rectangle Song
(original author unknown)
There is a shape that has four sides, But it is not a square…No!
It’s a rectangle; It’s a rectangle; It’s a rectangle;
It is not like a square…No!
Two sides are long; two sides are short. They are not the same…No!
It’s a rectangle; It’s a rectangle; It’s a rectangle; The sides are not the same…No!
