Opening song
Book: Bruce’s Big Storm by Ryan T. Higgens
Song: “Raindrops Are Falling” (Tune: “London Bridge”)
Little raindrops are falling down, (wiggle fingers and move them down like rain)
Falling down, falling down.
Little raindrops are falling down,
Falling to the ground. (tap fingers on the ground)
Bigger raindrops are falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
Bigger raindrops are falling down,
Falling to the ground. (tap hands on the ground)
Other Verses:
Giant raindrops… (stamp feet on the ground)
Fast raindrops… (wiggle fingers and sing quickly)
Slow raindrops… (wiggle fingers and sing slowly)
Teeny Tiny raindrops… (use fingers only for rain and sing in a high pitched voice)

If it’s raining outside, wear your boots.

If it’s snowing outside, wear your coat…
If it’s sunny outside, wear your hat…
