Rainy Day pastimes

Save it for a rainy day.
Save it for a rainy day by Neal on Flickr

I am going to make a collection of websites

that you might find passes the time on a rainy day.

 

Every year I ask the children in my class,

if you were an animal what animal would you be,

and why ?

We draw a picture of ourselves as that animal.

This results in some interesting self portraits.

Online I found an art activity where you can do something similar:

Draw a self portrait

and then make it even more original

by adding animal ears and tail etc.

Build Your Wild Self

 

I am reposting the following link

from earlier this year.

It contains many creative online art activities:

Try this one.

I think you will like it.

Here is another one:

Scribbler for beautiful pictures

 

As well as art there are websites where you can create your own music.

I like this one:

Have fun making music with inudge.net”

Just use your mouse to click in the small squares

and see what happens.

 

If you enjoy Word Games you will enjoy this site:

If you like playing with Lego,

What a summer! All that rain!

Here comes the rain again

It rained and rained and rained and rained,
The average was well maintained;
And when our fields were simply bogs,
It started raining cats and dogs.

After a drought of half an hour,
There came a most refreshing shower;
And then the queerest thing of all,
A gentle rain began to fall.

Next day ’twas pretty fairly dry,
Save for a deluge from the sky.
This wetted people to the skin,
But after that the rain set in.

Looking forward to a good September.

A sunny start to the new school term,

would be good.
