Rock chant
(Have the kids tap 2 rocks together to the beat)

Rocks are found
All around
Under the ocean,
And in the ground
Some are big
Some are small
Some are even very tall
Rocks are used
For many things
Chalk and roads
And stones in rings
Bridges and buildings,
A fireplace too
I’m sure rocks are found
Somewhere near you!

Rain Song

Rain, Rain, go away
Come again another day
Little (child’s name) wants to play.

Rain Finger play

Rain on the green grass. (Flutter fingers down to ground.)
And rain on the tree. (Flutter fingers up over head.)
Rain on the housetop, (Make upside down "V" with hand and arms.)
But not on me! (Circle arms over head to make umbrella.)

Rain
(Tune: Row Row Row Your Boat)

Rain, rain falling down, (Flutter fingers up and down.)
Landing all around. (Move arms out to sides.)
What a lovely sound you make (Cup hands behind ears.)
Splashing on the ground. (Wiggle fingers up and down.)
