By the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify shapes in your drawings and sing a fun song about them. So grab your crayons and let’s get creative with shapes together!

Let's Think

  1. What shapes did we use to make our happy face?

Let’s Have Fun with Shapes!

Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with shapes? Let’s get started by drawing some colorful shapes together!

Drawing a Happy Face

First, let’s draw a big circle. This will be the head of our happy face. Inside the big circle, draw two smaller circles for the eyes. Then, draw another circle for the mouth. Look at that smile!

Making a Funny Body

Now, let’s draw an oval right below the head. This will be the belly. On the belly, you can draw some small circles for buttons. How cute!

Adding Arms and Legs

For the arms, let’s use squares. Draw a square on each side of the belly. For the pants, we can use rectangles. Draw two rectangles below the belly for the pants. Don’t forget to add feet and hands at the ends!

Finishing Touches

Let’s add a nose by drawing a small circle in the middle of the face. And for a fun hat, draw a triangle on top of the head. Wow, now it looks like a silly clown!

Sing Along with Shapes

Let’s sing a little song: “I know my shapes, oh yes I do! I know my shapes, and you can too! A circle and an oval, a rectangle and a square, and when you add a triangle, you’re already there!”

See? Drawing with shapes is so much fun! You can do it too. Just remember your shapes, and you’ll be drawing in no time!

Keep Practicing!

Keep practicing with your shapes, and soon you’ll be able to draw all sorts of things. Have fun and keep creating!

Discussion Questions

  • What is your favorite shape to draw, and why do you like it so much? Can you think of something you see every day that is that shape?
  • When you look around your home or classroom, what shapes do you notice? Can you find a circle, a square, and a triangle?
  • If you could create a new shape, what would it look like? What would you call it, and where do you think you might see it in the world?

Lesson Activities

  • Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes you’ve learned about, like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles. Can you find a circle in your room? How about a square? Draw or take pictures of the objects you find and share them with your friends or family.
  • Shape Collage: Gather some colorful paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out different shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles. Use these shapes to create a fun collage. Maybe you can make a house, a car, or even a silly clown like the one you drew! Show your collage to your classmates and explain which shapes you used.
  • Shape Story Time: Imagine a story where each character is a different shape. What adventures do they go on? Maybe the circle rolls down a hill, or the triangle climbs a mountain. Draw a picture of your story and share it with your class. What shapes did you use for your characters, and why?
