Activity:
Play the song “What Would I Do?” for the students so they can hear where their action in the story happens in the song.
Select 6 students at a time and have each student choose an instrument to represent their sound in the song/story. (1st student: action of rain, 2nd student: action of jumping in a puddle, 3rd student: action of walking in the mud, 4th student: action of hopping in grass, 5th student: action of skipping in the driveway, 6th student: action of running in the backyard)
While these 6 students are using their instruments during the song, have the rest of the class do the actions in place (i.e. jumping, walking, hopping, skipping, and running).
In the last part of the song, have all the students play their instruments all at once.
