Rhyme: “Big Round Sun”
The big round sun in the summertime sky (form large circle with arms)
Winked at a cloud that was passing by. (wink eye)
The little cloud laughed as it scattered rain (flutter fingers downward)
Then out came the big round sun again. (form large circle with arms)
Song: Weather Song 1 (Tune: “Bingo”)
There was a time when we were wet and rainy was the weather,
R-A-I-N-Y, R-A-I-N-Y, R-A-I-N-Y and rainy was the weather.
There was a time when we were hot and sunny was the weather,
S-U-N-N-Y, S-U-N-N-Y, S-U-N-N-Y and sunny was the weather.
There was a time when we were cool AND windy was the weather,
W-I-N-D-Y, W-I-N-D-Y, W-I-N-D-Y and windy was the weather.
There was a time when we were cold AND snowy was the weather,
S-N-O-W-Y, S-N-O-W-Y, S-N-O-W-Y and snowy was the weather.

Song: Weather Song 2 (Tune: “Clementine”)
What’s the weather? What’s the weather? What’s the weather like today?
Is it foggy, partly cloudy, is it raining or is there snow?
Is it windy, is it cloudy, or is there sun shine today?
What’s the weather? What’s the weather? What’s the weather like today?
Fingerplay: “5 Little Raindrops”
Five little raindrops plopping on the floor,
one plopped away, and then there were four.
Four little raindrops dripping on the trees,
one dripped away, and then there were three.
Three little raindrops splashing on my shoe,
one splashed away, and then there were two.
Two little raindrops starting to run,
one ran off, and then there was one.
One little raindrop drying in the sun,
it dried all up, and then there were none!
