After we sing the song, I hold up a picture of different kinds of weather. We then select what the weather is for the day.

We act out each movement in our version of the song.

Rain, rain, falling down,
(wiggle fingers down)
Landing all around.
(wiggle fingers to the side)
What a lovely sound you make
(cup ears)
Splashing on the ground.
(tap knees)
