How the game continues

  1. Rub your hands for drizzle.
  2. Clap for rain.
  3. Stamp gently for a storm.
  4. Signal when the orchestra should stop.

You are done when

After round three, freeze and share a quiet high five.

If you get stuck

Make the movement smaller or show it only with fingers. Safety matters more than performance.

More rounds

  • Do everything in slow motion.
  • The child leads one round.
  • Turn the movement into a sound or a face.

Safety

The adult clears the floor. The child stamps gently and does not climb on furniture.

Rain orchestra

Complete three safe rounds of “Rain orchestra” and show one finger after each.
