Rain is falling down,	Raise hands up high and flutter fingers down.
Splash!	Slap floor with gusto.
Rain is falling down,	Raise hands up high and flutter fingers down
Splash!	Slap floor with gusto.
Pitter-Patter, pitter-patter,	Quietly flutter fingers.

Toddlers

Splash! Fall the Raindrops

Splash! Fall the raindrops,	Clap hands softly.
To the ground they go;	Point to ground with hands.
We need the raindrops,	Wiggle fingers down from head to waist.
To help the flowers grow.	Make cup of hands for flowers.

Preschoolers

If All the Raindrops

If All the Raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops,
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!	Throw head back and open mouth
If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops,
Oh, what a world that would be!
