Unifix U's
​
Materials Needed:
Unifix cubes
Paint trays
U's cut from card stock (or thick paper)

Directions:
Pass out U's to each child (or have a helper pass them out for you)
Allow the children to stamp the unifix cubes in the paint and decorate their U's

My Umbrella 

My umbrella goes up (raise arms high, fingers touching above head)
And I go under,
Whenever I hear
The sound of thunder.

It is wild and windy (move raised arms back and forth)
See the weather vane.
My umbrella is pulling
With the blowing rain.

Now it is still (hold raised arms in place)
And I see the sun.
Down comes my umbrella (lower arms to sides)
​Time now for fun!
