Movement
For Spring: the children pretend to be a flower growing. They make themselves as small as they can, in a round tightly curled shape, with head and limbs tucked in. With the music, they grow slowly to a standing position, using their arms to twist and turn like shoots and show a flower鈥檚 petals.
For Autumn: they stand and pretend to sweep leaves with a big broom - in front and to both sides.
Song
Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain
So Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.
