Song: “Make a Circle, Draw a Square” (Tune: “Oh My Darling Clementine”)
Make a circle, make a circle, draw it in the sky.
Use your finger, use your finger, make it round as pie.
Make a square, make a square, make the lines so straight.
Draw a square, draw a square, draw one or draw eight.
Draw a triangle, draw a triangle, always start at the top.
Make a tent, make a tent, use three lines and then stop!
