The Songs

If It’s Windy
Sing to the tune “If You’re Happy and You Know It”

If it’s windy and you know it swing and sway.
If it’s windy and you know it swing and sway.
If it’s windy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s windy and you know it, swing and sway.

If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.
If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.
If it’s sunny and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.

If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.
If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.
If it’s rainy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.

If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.
If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.
If it’s snowy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.

Weather Dance
Sing to the tune “Frere Jacques”

It is snowing, it is snowing
Falling down, falling down.
Gently, gently floating,
Gently, gently floating,
To the ground, to the ground.

It is raining, it is raining
Falling down, falling down.
Pitter, pitter, patter,
Pitter, pitter, patter,
Splashing down, on the ground.

It is windy, it is windy,
Watch it blow, watch it bow
Twirling round and round,
Jumping ‘cross the ground,
See it blow, to and fro.

It is sunny, it is sunny,
All around, all around,
Spreading lots of sunshine,

Making shadows sometimes,
On the ground, on the ground.

The Craft: Rain Stick

What you’ll need:

• Paper towel tube
• Crayons, markers, or stickers
• Aluminum Foil
• Small dried beans, lentils, or rice.
• Poster board
• Tape

How to make it:

Cut two circles sized to fit over the ends of a paper towel tube from the poster board. Tape one circle to one end of the tube. Then decorate the tube with crayons, markers, or stickers. Roll or crumple a large piece of aluminum foil; then twist it into a spiral shape and fit it inside the tube. (Be sure to use enough foil to reach both ends of the tube.) Pour in a quarter cup of small dried beans, lentils, or rice. Then tape the second tag board circle to the open end of the tube. Flip the stick from end to end to hear the sound of falling rain!
