The Rolling Circle Song
(sung to "Have You Ever Seen A Lassie")
Have you ever seen a circle, a circle,
a circle?
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes
'round and 'round?
It rolls this way and that way, And that way
and this way.
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes
'round and 'round?

Circle Song
(Sung to "Jingle Bells")
Round circles, Round circles, Round circles
to make,
Oh what fun it is to draw round circles to
shake.
Oh, Round circles, Round circles, Round
circles to make,
Oh what fun it is to draw round circles to
shake.

This Is a Circle
(sung to "Frere Jacques")
This is a circle, this is a circle.
How can you tell? How can you tell?
It goes round and round,
No end can be found.
It's a circle, it's a circle.

Do You Know?
(Tune: Muffin Man)
Do you know what shape this is, what
shape this is, what shape this is?
Do you know what shape this is, I'm holding
in my hand?
