Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day.

Rain, rain, go away!
Little [insert student's name] wants to play.

Teaching Suggestions

• Teach this simply rhyme on a rainy day.
  
  
• Copy the rain and sun pictures on this page. Let children color these simple designs, cut them out, and paste them on cards. Drill students on the phrases, "It's rainy!" and "It's sunny!" by holding up one of the two cards and asking, "What's the weather like?" You may practice listening skills by calling out either "It's rainy" or "It's sunny" and waiting for students to hold up appropriate cards.
  
  
• Discuss basic uses of water (i.e. "We drink it," "We bathe in it," We cook with it," "We swim in it," etc.)
