Boy, it's been so rainy! I have used this as an opportunity to teach the kiddos from "Nivel II" a traditional rain round. Children form a circle around a boy or girl, pretending they are in "la cueva" (the cave). Here is the round, with a loose translation (it makes no sense when it's a literal translation).
Que llueva! (Let in Rain)
Que llueva, que llueva
La nina (El nino) esta en la cueva (The boy/girl is in the cave)
Los pajaritos cantan (the birds sing)
Las nubes se levantan (the clouds wake up)
Que si! Que no! (Yes, No)
Que caiga un chaparron! (Let it downpour!)
This was also a great opportunity to talk about the QU sound in Spanish (qu-k). So, the word "que" is read "ke". The "u" is silent.
We also identified rhyming words, the "ll" sound, and had fun singing the round.
Here is a video with the song, although I have only taught Level II the first verse. I also replaced "La virgin" (The virgin) with "La nina/El nino" (The girl/boy) to make it more significant to them.
Keep dry!!!
