| Rhyme: "Planting Flowers" | |
| First you take the seed | (pretend to pick up a seed with fingers) |
| And you plant it in the ground. | (pretend to "plant" it in your other hand (open)) |
| Next a rain cloud comes | (roll up hand with "seed") |
| And waters all around. | (use fingers of other hand to shower "rain") |
| Next the sun shines brightly, | (keep "seed" hand rolled up) |
| Without a sound, | (move other hand over "seed" hand, like sun’s rays) |
| And in just a few days | (open "seed" hand up like a flower) |
| A flower is found! | |
