Rainy Days: Fun Ways to Play in the Rain (All Ages)

1/5/2020

We usually stay indoors when it starts to rain...and for good reason too. But this time around there will probably be times when you will still need to get outdoors for a bit of fresh air and your deserved 2km radius bit of exercise.

Mothernatured.com have listed lots of ideas on their page. Some you won't be able to do at the moment but there should be a few useful ideas there for you:

For example:

Sing in the rain. Songs with a rain theme are perfect for singing in the rain. Try Rain, Rain Go Away, I Can Sing a Rainbow or I’m Singing in the Rain!

Ingredients in bowls. Take some bowls filled with different ingredients like flour, sugar, oats and salt out into the rain and see what happens to the material when they get droplets of water on them.

Jump over puddles. Rather than jumping in puddles, try to jump over them this time.

Homemade rain gauge. This is an excellent rain gauge to make yourself!

Fill containers. Place many different sized containers out in the rain and let your child estimate which one will fill first!

Search for rainbows. The best time to search for rainbow is just after it rains. Can’t find any? Make your own!

Raindrop races. Place a start and finishing line on the inside of the window with whiteboard markers. Go outside and race raindrops. On your mark, get set… Go!
