Rain Fingerplay & Songs
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, rain, go away;
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.
(You can replace each child name in this song.)
It ain't gonna rain no more, no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more,
How in the heck will we (I) wash the (my) neck
If it ain't gonna rain no more?
Crafts
Rainstick Craft
Trace around one end of your paper towel tube and then make the circle
bigger. Make two circles. Make slits going inwards until you get
to the small circle. Cover one side of the paper towel tube with
masking tape. Glue to the construction paper on one side of the
tube. Cover it with the piece of round construction paper.
Glue (or tape) it around. Cut two long pieces of aluminum
foil and wrap each tightly (making long strips like a snake).
Make each one look like a spring. Place them inside the
tube. Place some rice inside the open end and close off with
masking tape. Cover it with the other round piece of construction
paper. Glue (or tape) it around. Place a piece of
construction paper on the tube. Decorate with crayons, paints,
etc. (If you want it to last longer, laminate it using clear
laminate paper that can be bought at Wal-Mart). Make rain sounds.
