Make a drainpipe out of cardboard, make a spider out of pipe cleaners with a lolly stick attached and use it as puppets to act out the rhyme as you are singing.

The children could hold some raindrops coming out of a cloud and a sunshine to move around at the right time.

When you have finished, swap the puppets round so everyone gets a go

painting a spider - creative
- Physical fine motor skills/ eye co ordination
- cll - learning new word
- psr and numeracy counting spider legs
- ku of world - talk about where spider live, what they eat
- pse look at the childs picture the spider talk about feelings
happy sad etc

Handprint spiders - paint palm and 4 fingers (not thumb) with black paint then print onto white paper, do same with other hand overlapping the palms. Add googly eyes and you have a spider
