On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on a journey to discover shapes.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

A long time ago, a mathematician named Euclid discovered that shapes like circles, triangles, and squares follow special rules. Geometry is the science that studies these rules.

Around us, we can see many shapes. For example, car wheels are circles, house roofs are often triangles, and windows are often squares or rectangles.

Understanding these shapes and their rules is very important. It helps us build strong buildings, draw accurate maps, and organize our environment effectively.

Shapes make the game more fun too. When we play with blocks or draw, we use these shapes to create interesting objects and structures. They help us imagine and build amazing things.

The Enchanted Shapes of Euclid

Why are shapes so important to understand the world?

The Magic Shapes Room

After learning how plants heal diseases with Hippocrates' natural remedies, Sarah and Sofiane leave the fragrant garden. A butterfly with shimmering‎ (1) wings accompanies them until they enter a new room where geometric shapes float in the air. Sofiane, always curious, marvels at the glowing patterns dancing around them. Sarah, on the other hand, carefully observes each shape, mentally noting the details for her future drawings. Suddenly, a soft but firm voice calls out to them. It's Euclid, the young genius of mathematics and geometry, who welcomes them with a warm smile.

Euclid, with a warm smile, says to them:
« Welcome, friends! Look at these shapes. They have secrets. »

Sofiane, amazed, says:
« Wow, this is amazing! How can these shapes be so perfect? »

Euclid, with a smile lit up by passion, begins to explain:
« Every shape has a use. Triangles, squares, circles, they help build buildings, draw maps and play with objects. »

Sarah, curious about the shapes, asks:
« And this perfect circle? It spins around. »

Euclid, eyes sparkling, adds: « This circle shows forever‎ (2). Isn't that amazing? »

Euclid gives them a golden ruler and shows them a perfect shape. Inside, a triangle shines, holding a clue for their quest. The children are amazed. They will soon discover the secrets hidden behind these geometric shapes.

The Mysterious Triangle

After admiring the geometric patterns, Sarah and Sofiane carefully observe the shiny triangle. They wonder what it hides. Euclid, with his quick mind, explains the importance of the triangle in geometry and shows them how to use the golden ruler to solve the riddle.

Euclid, with a mischievous smile, starts to explain: « Look closely at this triangle. You see, it has three sides and three angles. But that's not all! This triangle is special. It is equilateral‎ (3), which means all its sides are the same length and all its angles are equal. It is one of the most perfect triangles in geometry. Now, take the golden ruler and measure the sides. You will see that each side is exactly the same length. This is how we can start to solve the puzzle it hides. »

Sofiane, curious about the mysteries of geometry, asks: « And what about Pythagoras' theorem‎ (4)? How does it work? »

Euclid, always ready to share his knowledge, explains: « In a right triangle, the hypotenuse‎ (5) is special. The square‎ (6) of its length is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. »

Sarah, amazed, shouts:
« It's magical! The pyramids use these principles. »

Euclid, with a mischievous smile, says:
« Exactly. Pyramids are built with triangular and square faces. They are stable and strong. »

After admiring the geometric patterns and noting the clue from the triangle, Sarah and Sofiane are suddenly surrounded by a dazzling light. When it fades, they find themselves in a tiny world where colorful spheres spin around them like a dance of shiny dust. They are greeted by Democritus, a Greek man with a white beard, who explains that these spheres are atoms‎ (7), the invisible building blocks of everything around them. Euclid, always present, reminds them that understanding shapes and structures is the key to uncovering the mysteries of the universe. Sarah and Sofiane, excited by this new adventure, get ready to explore the world of atoms, eager to discover even more hidden secrets.
