    Hi

    I don't know how to dowload things  into the Forum to another person but I have downloaded shape songs under new resources.  I have put them under Knowledge and Understanding and hope that these will help you.  I have used them with my nursery class.

     

    Hope they help.

    I put shapes in a feely bag and sing

    (to the tune of this old man)

     

    Mystery bag what’s inside?

    What’s the shape you try to hide?

    Is it a circle, triangle, rectangle or square?

    What’s the shape? Describe what’s there

    I then describe it and the children guess

    I also do it for 3d shapes  but you have to sing  quick to get 5 3d shapes

    Mystery bag what’s inside?

    What’s the shape you try to hide?

    Is it a cube or a cuboid, cylinder, cone or sphere

    What’s the shape? Describe what’s there

    My kids love it and sing the song and describe the shapes all by themselves when I leave the mystery bag out!!

    There are some songs in a book called 'Tom's musical maths' They are set to well known songs and rhymes.

    In case you couldn't find them put them under communication and language under songs.  Hope these help.
