Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.Book: The Napping House by Audrey Wood; illustrated by Don Wood.
Song: Rain Is Falling All Around
Rain is falling all around,
On the housetops, on the ground.
Rain is falling on my nose,
On my head and hands and toes.
Poem: Lazy Jane, from the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. We used a puppet, a cloud on a stick, and some glitter to perform this poem.
Book: Are You Ready to Play Outside? by Mo Willems.
Song: And the Rain Came Down All Around, sung to the music of The Green Grass Grew All Around. We made up our own words to the song. We also used pictures on a magnetic chalkboard to correspond with various parts of the song.
Book: Soggy Saturday by Phyllis Root; illustrated by Helen Craig.
Story: The Umbrella, from the book, Kibitzers and Fools: Tales My Zayda To
ld Me by Simms Taback. We used the puppets, an umbrella with holes, and the blue blanket to act out this story.Book: Kipper’s Rainy Day based on the books by Mick Inkpen; illustrated by Stuart Trotter.
Story: Drip Drip Drip from the book Well Done, Worm by Kathy Caple. We made cut-outs which can be used on a magnetic chalkboard, in place of the actual book. We told the story and put up the “drips” and “buckets.”
Song: Ducks Like Rain from the Raffi compact disc, Rise and Shine. We gave the children duck feet which they wore while we ran our bubble machine. This was fun!
