Itsy Bitsy Spider - Lyrics
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Itsy Bitsy Spider - Fingerplay (movements)
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other hand. Then touch the index finger to the thumb of the other hand. Do it over again while lifting your hands up.
Down came the rain,
Bring you hands down. While you are doing this, wiggle your fingers to simulate rain.
and washed the spider out.
Sweep your hands away from one another while hand palms are pointing towards the floor.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
Form a circle with your hands (sun), and rise your hands (the sun is rising).
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Repeat step one.
Touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other hand. Then touch the index finger to the thumb of the other hand. Do it over again while lifting your hands up.
Down came the rain,
Bring you hands down. While you are doing this, wiggle your fingers to simulate rain.
and washed the spider out.
Sweep your hands away from one another while hand palms are pointing towards the floor.
Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
Form a circle with your hands (sun), and rise your hands (the sun is rising).
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Repeat step one.
