Under my Umbrella
Under my umbrella, I am dry
(Make Umbrella shape with hands)
When it’s raining, my oh my
(Wiggle fingers like rain)
I wait until the raindrops stop.
(Clap hands on stop)
Now no umbrella on my top!
(Hold up Hands)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Umbrella Song
(Tune: I'm A Little Teapot )
Here's my new Umbrella.
Wide and high.
It keeps me cozy, warm and dry.
If the rain starts falling from the sky
Just open me up and you'll stay dry.

Umbrellas
I put on my raincoat.
Pretend to put on coat
I put on my hat.
Put on hat
I put up my umbrella
fingertips touching over head
Just like that!

Little Raindrop
This is the sun, high up in the sky,
(Hold hands in circle above head)
A dark cloud suddenly comes sailing by.
(Slide hands to side)
These are the raindrops.
(Make raining motion with fingers)
Pitter patter down.
Watering the flowers,
(Pouring motion)
Growing on the ground.
(Hands pat the ground)

Rain
When the rain comes down drip drop drip
drop,
(flutter fingers down in front of you)
Windshield wipers flip flop flip flop,
(bend arms in front and move them side to
side)
Boots in puddles plip plop plip plop,
(move feet up and down)
I wish the rain would never stop.
Drip drop drip, (use motions as you say it)
Flip flop flip,("" )
Plip plop plip plop, ("")
PLOP! (do the motions and jump)

Mr. Sun
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree.
These little children are asking you
To please come out so
We can play with you.
Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. golden Sun,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on,
Please shine down on me!
