Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with the Itsy Bitsy Spider? Let’s go on an adventure together!
First, let’s imagine a little spider. This spider is called the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Can you see it in your mind? Great! Now, let’s help the spider climb up the water spout.
The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up, up, up the water spout. But oh no! What happened next?
Down came the rain! Can you make raindrops with your fingers? Let’s count the raindrops together. One, two, three! The rain washed the spider out of the spout. Poor spider!
But wait! Out came the sun. Can you make a big, bright sun with your arms? The sun dried up all the rain, and the sky was clear again.
Now, the Itsy Bitsy Spider is ready to try again. Up, up, up it goes, climbing the spout once more. Hooray! You did a great job helping the spider!
Thank you for joining in the fun and singing along. Remember, the Itsy Bitsy Spider never gives up, and neither should we!
Spider Climb Experiment: Let’s create our own water spout and spider! Use a piece of string or yarn as the water spout and a small toy or paper spider. Can you help the spider climb up the spout? What happens if you sprinkle a little water on the string? Does the spider slide down? Try drying the string with a towel or a hairdryer and see if the spider can climb up again. Talk about how the sun helps dry the rain in the story.
Weather Watch: Over the next week, let’s be weather detectives! Each day, look outside and see if it’s sunny, rainy, or cloudy. Draw a picture of what you see. Can you find a day when the sun comes out after the rain, just like in the story? Share your drawings with your friends and talk about how the weather changes just like in the Itsy Bitsy Spider’s adventure.
Counting Raindrops Game: Let’s practice counting with raindrops! Use blue paper or draw raindrops on a piece of paper. Cut them out and spread them on the floor. Can you count how many raindrops there are? Now, pretend to be the sun and pick up the raindrops one by one as you count them again. How many raindrops did you dry up?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Next, let’s do the Itsy Bitsy Spider! I’m going to need your help. Here’s the house. Now let’s get the spider. The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the water spout. Down came the rain. That’s right! So let’s put a cloud. And what did you say? Rain! Let’s see how much rain we have. One, two, three! Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun! That’s right! So we take off the rain. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. That’s the sun, and the Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the spout again. Good job! Thanks for singing with me!”
