The Eensey Weensey Spider

Eensy weensy spider
Went up the water spout
('Climb' up arm)
Down came the rain
(Wiggle fingers down from head to waist)
And washed the spider out
(Throw arms to sides)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
(Raise hands above head, make circle for sun)
Now the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again.
('Climb' up arm again)

(Repeat, naming all of the students in the class or in your group. If you are doing it at home, name all the members of the family.)
With older kids, you may want to introduce an element of competition. Try to keep the beat steady and if a child can't think of another student's name and stay on the beat, they are "out." For example:
All: Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?Pedro took the cookie from the cookie jar.
Pedro: Who me?
All: Yes you!
Pedro: Not me!
All: Then who?
Pedro: Umm... Umm... Umm...
Leader: Time's up!
