Little raindrops falling down, falling down, falling down (tap fingers on the ground/legs)

Bigger raindrops falling down, falling down, falling down (tap hands on the ground/legs)
Bigger raindrops falling down, falling to the ground

Giant raindrops… (stamp feet on the ground)
Fast raindrops… (wiggle fingers and sing quickly)
