It’s a Rainy Day! Sing Along Song (Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Cherry Carl Artwork: art4crafts.com

It’s a rainy day,

Time for puddly play.

Squish! Squash! Squiggle! Squirt!

Under skies of gray.

He squeezes mud between his toes,

Then in the tub he goes.

Squish! Squash! Squiggle! Squirt!

And then he changes clothes!

Isn’t it Raining Yet? (Tune: The Mulberry Bush)


We’re prepared for rain this year . . .

Our mothers bought us all the gear

To keep us dry from head to toe,

Even though they really know

We like to get ourselves all wet.

Tell us, is it raining yet?!

We’d really like to go outside

So please don’t keep us all inside!

April Showers


Plop! Plop! Plop on my rooftop!

When do you think this rain will stop?

I have my umbrella and my raincoat, too,

But I want to know if it’s really true

That rainy days and April showers

Really bring us May’s new flowers!

Thunder roars. Begin to count.

See how far away.

Memory Game

Duplicate the cards on card stock and laminate for durability. Be sure to play this game with your students in small groups (2 or 3) before allowing them to play independently.

The purpose of this game is to make pairs following the traditional Memory or Concentration rules. The winner is the one with the most pairs. Children just love to play and to count the number of cards they accumulate during a game.
