Nursery rhymes and songs/The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Lyrics and actions

American variant

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

British variant

The incy wincy spider climbed up the water spout, (Touch left thumb to right forefinger, then left forefinger to right thumb, whilst moving hands upwards)
Down came the rain and washed the spider out. (Wiggle fingers of both hands, palm out, whilst moving hands down; then make sweeping motion with both hands, center outwards)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, (Lifting motion with both hands)
And the incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again. (Touch left thumb to right forefinger, then left forefinger to right thumb, whilst moving hands upwards)
