Walkin' in the Rain
Walkin' in the rain,
Walkin' in the rain,
Look there's a puddle let's jump. Splash! Walkin' in the rain,
Walkin' in the rain,
Look there's a puddle let's jump. Splash!
Activities for classes with parents
1. Reveal rain pic. "It's time to go splashing in some puddles!" The adults hold their babies and walk around the room in a circle to the pulse, jumping on the word ‘Splash!’.
2. Walk slowly like “snails”. Walk quickly like “mice”.
3. Lightly creep to pulse and use “fairy” (quieter) voices. March loudly and use “giant” (louder) voices.
Activities for classes in the nursery This song is not appropriate for babies in the nursery. Perform activities for 'Sally Go 'Round the Sun' instead.
* You can choose between 'Walkin' in the Rain and 'Sally Go 'Round the Sun'. 'Walkin' in the Rain' works well when your toddlers are good walkers and/or when you have enthusiastic adults joining in and holding the children's hands as they walk.
1. Reveal rain pic. "It's time to go splashing in some puddles!" The children walk the pulse in a circle whilst singing. They stop on the word ‘jump’, then jump and land on the word ‘splash’.
2. Walk slowly like “snails”. Walk quickly like “mice”.
3. Lightly creep to pulse and use “fairy” (quieter) voices. March loudly and use “giant” (louder) voices.
Activities one and two are the same as for toddlers. N.B. activity three is different from Spring plans.
3. Walk the pulse and sing the song using “thinking voices”, only performing the ‘splash’ out loud. You can begin to build this skill by mouthing the words without making any sound.
