You can also make your own weather sounds
whilst singing your songs. Tap your fingers on a table
to sound like raindrops, shake a piece of cardboard or
stamp your feet to sound like thunder, blow to sound like
the howling wind or make shivery noises for the cold.
Water
Cycle by Meish Goldish
(to the tune of 'It's Raining, It's Pouring')
It's raining, it's pouring,
the oceans are storing
water from the falling rain
while thunderclouds are roaring.
The rain now is stopping,
the rain's no longer dropping.
sun comes out and soaks up water
like a mop that's mopping.
The water's still there
now,
but hidden in the air now.
In the clouds it makes a home
until there's rain to share now.
It's raining, it's pouring...
Oh,
Rainbow
(to the tune of 'Oh, Christmas Tree')
Oh, rainbow, oh, rainbow,
how lovely are your colours.
Oh, rainbow, oh, rainbow,
how lovely are your colours.
Purple, red and orange, too,
yellow, green and blue so true.
Oh, rainbow, oh, rainbow,
how lovely are your colours.
Thunder
and Lightning
(to the tune of 'Pop Goes the Weasel')
When a storm begins in
the clouds,
it sometimes may look frightening.
You see a quick electrical spark -
Flash! goes the lightning!
Long and thin and streaky
and fast,
its glow is oh so brightening.
Watch for the electric spark -
Flash! goes the lightning!
When a storm begins in
the clouds,
it truly is a wonder.
You hear a rumble loud in the sky -
Clap! goes the thunder!
Lightning bolts are heating
the air,
over clouds and under.
When the air expands enough -
Clap! goes the thunder.
Thunder
(to the tune of Frere Jacques)
I hear thunder, I hear
thunder,
hark, don't you? Hark, don't you?
Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops,
I'm wet through.
So are you.
Fluffy
Snowflakes
(to the tune 'London Bridge is Falling Down')
Fluffy snowflakes falling
down,
falling down, falling down,
fluffy snowflakes falling down,
tickly, tingly snowflakes.
Insy
winsy spider
Insy winsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed poor Insy out
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain
So Insy winsy spider climbed up the spout again.
