- Sings the child's name
Rain, rain, go away! Mina wants to go out and play, but the rain won't stop. So she races raindrops, builds a den, drums on the pots, counts the drops, and waits... until drip, drop, it stops! Sing the rhyme everyone knows with your own name in it, and find the little green frog who loves the rain on every page.
Level 1 · First Songs
Listen, move, and join in with a sound.
The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.
The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
