Songs
Thunder and Rain
(Adapted by Shelly Lane. Sing to the tune of “Are You Sleeping.”)
There is thunder, there is thunder, (Pound floor with palm of hands)
Hear it boom, hear it boom,
Pitter, patter, rain is falling, (Slap knees alternately and quickly)
Pitter, patter, rain is falling,
Run for home, run for home. (Make running motion)
It’s Raining, It’s Pouring
(Traditional.)
It’s raining, it’s pouring,
The old man is snoring.
He bumped his head
And he went to bed
And he couldn’t get up in the morning.
Rain, Rain
(Traditional.)
Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.
We want to go outside and play.
Come again some other day.
