Splashing In The Puddles! : Rainy Day Songs

May 30, 2013 By Sara Mullett 7 Comments

Splashing in the Puddles is the most active of our rainy day songs. If you’re looking for a lively inside activity it’s a great way to get everyone moving with some imaginative movement. Tell the children to get ready in their pretend welly boots and raincoats, and to put their imaginary umbrellas up over their heads. Then everyone stamps around the room together as you all sing the song as boisterously as you can!

Alternatively, if you find yourselves outside on a rainy day, you can do it for real, but do make sure you’ve got your real coat and boots on!

For more ideas on how to use the Splashing in the Puddles rainy day songs in a rain themed music lesson, check out my RAIN lesson plan.
