5 Spring Flowers
5 spring flowers, all in a row. [hold up 5
fingers]
The first one says [hold up 1 finger] “we need
rain to grow” [use fingers to show rain]
The second one says [hold up 2 fingers] “oh yes,
we need water” [nod head yes]
The third one says [hold up 3 fingers] “it’s
getting hotter!” [fan face with hand]
The fourth one says [hold up 4 fingers] “I see
clouds in the sky!” [point up]
The fifth one says [hold up 5 fingers] “I wonder
why!” [shrug shoulders and hold up hands questioningly]
Boom! Crash!
Then…BOOM! went the thunder and CRASH! went the
lightning
That springtime storm was very frightening [hug
self as if scared]
But the flowers weren’t worried, oh no, no, no!
[shake head]
Because the rain helped them to grow, grow,
grow! [raise arms as if growing]
