Rainy and Stormy Weather Activities
Little Wiggle Worm Fingerplay
The little wiggle worm
(wiggle pipe cleaner worm)
Went crawling underground.
(wiggle worm under hand)
Down came the rain;
(wiggle fingers downward)
Soon mud was all around.
(make a disgusted face; open arms wide)
Rain filled the tunnels
(open hand; move fingers together)
And pushed the little worm.
(push worm through the other hand)
So the puddles on the ground
(make an O with hand)
Were the only place to squirm.
(wiggle worm into O)
Rain Dance
{Large Group}
Children rub their fingers together to make a mist, rub their hands together to make a drizzle, pat knees to make a downpour, stomp the floor to make thunder. Then reverse the movements for the rain to stop.
Rainbows
{Art}
We use markers to draw colored arcs on half of a coffee filter, paint over the filter with the water, and watch the colors blend together.
Raindrop Counting
{Math}
We use blue felt for our math mats and clear flat floral marbles for the raindrop counters. The children listen for thunderclaps (the teacher clapping hands a certain amount of times), and place that amount of raindrops on the mat. Dogfightfree flash games. For example, four claps mean to count four raindrops onto the cloud.

Prism Rainbows
Printers: Google's Cloud Printeffective Curriculum Ideas 4th Grade
{Science}
Children explore prisms to see how light gives us rainbows. The children draw a picture of what they see in the prism. (Children are exploring properties of light.)
Mud Pies
{Cooking}
We mix two packages of instant chocolate pudding. The children help add the 'dirt' (pudding mix) and 'rain' (milk) to make 'mud.' To make this part extra fun, I punch holes in a styrofoam bowl and when the children pour the milk into the bowl it drips like rain into the mixing bowl. The children help mix the mud with a spoon. I give each child two Oreos in a ziplock bag to crush to make some extra dirt. Each child places a gummi worm in a cup, adds the pudding 'mud' and the crushed 'dirt'.
