Read Down Comes the Rain by Franklyn M. Branley. Talk about kinds of rain you have seen "light, sprinkling rain or hard, pouring rain. Make

it "rain" in the classroom. Start by rubbing your hands together (wind) and then snapping your fingers (sprinkles). Then pat your knees for raindrops. Make it rain harder by kicking your heels on the floor and clapping your hands for lightning. Then gradually do the motions in reverse until the "storm" is over.
