Pitch Activity Book - Rain, Rain, Go Away

The "Rain, Rain, Go Away" activity book presents an engaging game for children that combines singing with a simple physical activity. This interactive game is ideal for a group setting where children can either sit in a circle or a line. The classic nursery rhyme is given a twist as it becomes a musical game that involves the entire group and individual participation. To begin, the whole group sings the lines "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day," while performing a rhythmic action such as tapping their knees or any other chosen movement that keeps time with the steady pulse of the song.

Adding to the fun, the game incorporates a solo singing element. After the group sings the opening lines, the first child takes a solo turn by singing "Little......wants to play," inserting the name of the child sitting to their left into the blank. This personal touch not only makes the song more engaging but also ensures that each child has a moment in the spotlight. The child whose name was sung then responds with their own solo, singing the closing line "Rain, rain, go away." The game continues in this manner, with each child getting a chance to sing solo as the song passes around the group. This playful activity not only fosters a sense of community but also encourages children to practice musical timing and build confidence in their singing abilities.
