2.
Hide shapes around the room, and have children find the one called for in
each verse.
3.
Hold
hands and walk around in a circle during the chorus. Stop, close your eyes,
and then point to something in the room that is the correct shape ( a window
or door for the rectangle, a clock for a circle, etc.). Be prepared to pause
the CD player if children need more time, or if you would to have them share
their found shapes.
4.
Have
one child stand in the middle of the circle. Tape one shape to the backs of
each of the other children, and have them hold hands and walk around while
the child in the middle closes his or her eyes. When it’s time to open them,
children stop, and turn their backs to the middle, letting their shapes be
seen. The child in the middle chooses the shape indicated in the song,
and that child is then in the middle. If you have a large class, several
children can be in the middle at one time. Again, be prepared to pause the
CD player in between turns.
