Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to Music to our Ears, where we share some
interesting tidbits and stories related to our favorite Lingo kids songs.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh that's my snack time alarm. Let's see what we
have in the kitchen. Hello friends. Oh, it looks like
everyone is having.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Fun drawing, Lisa, I like your drawing a stack of circles.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh, are you drawing that bowl of oranges?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yes, I'm trying. It's fun to use simple shapes to
draw stuff we see in the real world. A circle
is a flat shape. An orange takes up space in
the real world, it's called a sphere.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
What else is shaped like a sphere? A bubble? Correct, Cowie.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Circles and spears are both round, but spears have space
inside them.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You can pop a bubble? Is this can of beans
a sphere?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Sort of?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
This one is tricky.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
It is round and it has a circle on the
top and bottom.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it's not a sphere.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh, this shape is called a cylinder. Let's say that
word together, ready, cylinder.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
A cylinder is like a tube or pipe. The ends
can be covered or open, like that straw in your lemonade. Lisa,
I can think of another tasty shape it's a circle
on one end and the other end is pointy.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Here's a yummy clue. You can put a scoop of
ice cream in it. A con Yes, a cone.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I'm hungry.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Okay, Elliott, here's the last shape challenge. I'll draw the
flat shape, and you all tell me the name of
the shape.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
In the real world. Here's my drawing.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I know, go ahead, cawie, tell us a square nicely done.
A square has four sides that are the same length.
If two sides are longer, we know that's a rectangle.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Do you see anything in the kitchen that looks like
a square? Cookie? Square, cookies?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh, the box of cookies. Yes, the sides of the
box are squares. This shape has space inside for lots
of cookies. Right. The box is a cube. A globe
has six square sides, like ice cubes. Let's put some

(03:05):
ice cubes in our lemonade. I don't know about you all,
but I am ready for a snack. Let's have some cookies.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's music to ees.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, then let's sing a song about shapes. Ready, here
we go.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Shits are all around us everywhere we go.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Sometimes they are hiding what shapes?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
I can see some.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Circles spinning down the streets, wheels of cars and buses
looking really neat.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Shits are all around us everywhere we go.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Sometimes they are hiding. What shapes do you know?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
I see some orange cones right next to the road,
warning there are people.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Busy digging holes.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Ships are all around us everywhere we go. Sometimes they
are hiding. What shapes do you know?

up the pantry to get to canopies.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Shapes are all around us everywhere we go.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Sometimes they are hiding. What shapes do you know? I

Ships are all around us everywhere we go.

Speaker 3 (04:31):

are all around us everywhere we go.

Sometimes they are hiding. What shapes do.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Now that was music to our ears.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
We hope you like the song. You can sing it
all day long. Look around your world. Do you see circles, spheres,
cylinders and cones. Maybe you can find a square or
rectangle or even a cube.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Think about it. Goodbye until next time.
