Northwest Suburban Council

Babbling Brook Cheer - “Babble, babble, babble”

Rainstorm Applause - Start by gently patting knees alternately to simulate light rain falling.  Increase the noise by switching to hand clapping as the storm reaches its height.  With a hand signal, have everyone shout “Boom!” to represent thunder.  Gradually decrease the hand clapping and then pat the knees as the storm

subsides.
