Lyrics & Gestures

A circle. A circle. Can you make a circle? (Make a circle with your hands)
A circle. A circle. Can you make a circle?

A circle. A circle. Can you find a circle? (Make a circle with your hands, and then place your hand above your eyes as if you are searching for something.)
A circle. A circle. Can you find a circle?
Can you find a circle? Ready...GO! (Everbody hold hands in a circle, and then everyone scatters to find the shape on "GO!")

I know...let's make a diamond. Can you make a diamond? Here we go...
A diamond. A diamond. Can you make a diamond? (Make a diamond with your hands.)
A diamond. A diamond. Can you make a diamond?

A diamond. A diamond. Can you find a diamond? (Make a diamond with your hands, and then place your hand above your eyes as if you are searching for something.)
A diamond. A diamond. Can you find a diamond?
Can you find a diamond? Ready...GO! (Everbody hold hands in a circle, and then everyone scatters to find the shape on "GO!")

Hmm...what's next? How about a square?
A square. A square. Can you make a square? (Make a square with your hands.)
A square. A square. Can you make a square?

A square. A square. Can you find a square? (Make a square with your hands, and then place your hand above your eyes as if you are searching for something.)
A square. A square. Can you find a square?
Can you find a square? Ready...GO! (Everbody hold hands in a circle, and then everyone scatters to find the shape on "GO!")

Alright. It's time for one more. Let's try a heart.
A heart. A heart. Can you make a heart? (Make a heart with your hands.)
A heart. A heart. Can you make a heart?

A heart. A heart. Can you find a heart? (Make a heart with your hands, and then place your hand above your eyes as if you are searching for something.)
A heart. A heart. Can you find a heart?
Can you find a heart? Ready...GO! (Everbody hold hands in a circle, and then everyone scatters to find the shape on "GO!")

A circle, a diamond, a square, and a heart. (Make the shapes with your hands or point to the shpaes around the room.)
A circle, a diamond, a square, and a heart.
A circle, a diamond, a square, and a heart...
