Baby Storytime #7 - Rain!

I had a very good group today. They listened to the stories and participated in the songs. It went so fast I ran out of material. Still it was 20 minutes but they seemed to want more. Maybe I will bring more books next time.

Hello song - The more we get together (uke)
Tickle: from Jbrary
Rain is falling down, Splash!
Rain is falling down, Splash!
Pitter patter pitter patter,
Rain is falling down, Splash!

Sun is peeking out, Peek!
Sun is peeking out, Peek!
Peeking here, peeking there
Sun is peeking out, Peek!

Flannel song: (to If you're happy and you know it) from Mel's Desk
If it's raining outside wear your boots,
If it's raining outside wear your boots
If it's raining outside, then your boots will keep you dry
If it's raining outside, wear your boots.

wear your coat, wear your hat, bring your umbrella.

Book: Rain by Rozanne Williams

Song:
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Bumped his head on the side of the bed
And he won't get up in the morning.

Fingerplay-Umbrellas
5 umbrellas stood by the back door,
One went outside and then there were 4.
4 umbrellas pretty as can be
One went outside and then there were 3
3 umbrellas with nothing to do
One went outside and then there were 2
2 umbrellas no having much fun
One went outside and then there was 1.
1 little umbrella alone in the hall.
It went outside and then there was one.

Choral Reading; Eency Weency Spider

Shakers to Singing in the rain from Maria Muldaur's Swingin in the rain

Goodbye song: May there always be sunshine
I did this like Jim Gill and added the names of the kids so I could learn them. They are now gone from my brain but maybe I will learn them soon.
