Sing a Song

If It's Raining
(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

If it's raining and you know it clap your hands. 
If it's raining and you know it clap your hands.
If it's raining and you know it, then your clothes will surely show it, 
If it's raining and you know it clap your hands. 
If the mud is only knee deep, stamp your feet. 
If the mud is only knee deep, stamp your feet. 
If the mud is only knee deep, and you wish that it were hip deep, 
If the mud is only knee deep, stamp your feet. 
If the wind is really blowing, shake your head
If the wind is really blowing, shake your head. 
If the wind is really blowing, and your hat is a rolling,

if the wind is really blowing  shake your head.

Try This

March brings spring showers! Next time it rains, have a movie marathon! Put on pajamas (no matter what time it is), pop popcorn, and watch a movie! If you really want to go outside, put on raincoats and  boots.  Then go out and  splash around in puddles! Show your child how to use an umbrella. Practice saying and spelling the word umbrella.
