Try singing the song again and again until you can remember all the shapes and their sides. You can even make up your own dance moves to go with the song!

Learning about shapes is so much fun, especially when you can sing and dance along. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a shape expert!

  • Can you think of any objects around your home or school that are shaped like a pentagon, hexagon, or octagon? What are they, and how many sides do they have?
  • If you could create a new shape with a fun name, how many sides would it have, and what would you call it? Why did you choose that name?
  • How does singing a song about shapes help you remember them better? Can you think of another topic you could learn about by making up a song?
  1. Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your house or classroom! Look for objects that match the shapes you learned about in the song. Can you find something shaped like a pentagon, hexagon, or octagon? Draw a picture of each object you find and label it with the shape name and the number of sides.

  2. Shape Art: Create a piece of art using different shapes. Cut out shapes from colored paper or use stickers to make a fun picture. Try to include at least one pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, and decagon. Once your artwork is complete, count the sides of each shape and write the number next to it.

  3. Shape Story: Imagine you are on an adventure on Shape Island. Write a short story about your journey, where you meet different shapes. What do you do with the pentagon, hexagon, and octagon? How do they help you on your adventure? Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the shapes you mentioned!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
