Circles Go Round

In Circles Go Round children are introduced to the shape of circles. They learn to shape a circle in three
ways - by touching finger to thumb, by touching fingers over their heads, and by joining hands in a group.
The song provides a good opportunity for social interaction, as children look through their circles at each
other, smile at each other like the sun, and go round like a merry-go-round while holding hands. Be sure to
demonstrate for the children and help them coordinate fingers and arms as they make their circles.

Circles go round and round. All of the circles I've found
Go round and round like a merry go round. Circles go round and round

Can your fingers make a circle? Touch a finger to your thumb.
Hold your circle up to your eyes. Look through your circle at someone

Can your arms make a circle? Touch your fingers over your head
Now you look just like the sun. Can you smile on everyone

Can we all make a circle? Gather around and all join hands
When we all have made a circle, let's make it go round like a merry go round

Circles go round and round. Round and round like a merry go round
Up and down and round and round. Circles go round and round
Circles go round and round. Round and round like a merry go round
Up and down and round and round. Circles go round and round
