This is a simple rhyme about rain for young children. It is about rain falling from the sky and the flowers growing after the sun comes up.

When you feel like something’s tickling your nose
And you really, really, really wanna sneeze
Don’t hold it back, that’s the way it goes
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze

Don’t be shy (Achoo!)
Don’t be shy (Achoo!)
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze
Wipe your nose (Achoo!)
Wipe your nose (Achoo!)
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze

When you’re sniffing all the flowers and you’re playing in the sun
And you really, really, really wanna sneeze
You can cover up your mouth, wash your hands when you’re done
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze

If you’re allergic or you’re sick, or you’re tickled by a feather
And you really, really, really wanna sneeze
Don’t worry too much, it could just be the weather
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze

Hints and Tips: 

  • Learn the actions for each verse.

Germs can cause a runny nose
Germs from coughs and colds and flues
Stop spreading germs at home and school
Wash your hands, that's what you do!

Wash, wash, wash your hands
Get them nice and clean
Wash them on top
Wash them below and fingers in between

Wash your hands, that's what you should do!

With our friends at school and play,
We share and share alike each day
I'll share a toy, you'll share a snack
You'll share with me and I'll share right back
But there is one thing that you should not share...
(Now, what was that?)

Keep your sneeze to yourself
Don't share your germs with anyone else!
Get a tissue off the shelf
And keep your sneeze to yourself!
(Achoo! More tissues!)

With our friends at school and play
We share and share alike each day
I'll share a ball, you'll share a game
You'll share with me and I'll do the same
But there is one thing that you should not share...
(Come again?)

Keep your sneeze to yourself
Don't share your germs with anyone else!
Turn your head (Achoo!)
And cover your mouth
And keep your sneeze to yourself!

Every time after a sneeze,
Give your hands a scrub - use a little soap, please!
If you think you're about to sneeze
Get a tissue off the shelf...
Turn back, and then cover your mouth...

And keep your sneeze to yourself! (Gesundheit!)
Keep your sneeze to yourself! (That's better!)
Keep... your... sneeze... to your-SELF!
Achoo!

Hints and Tips: 

  • Use actions while singing this song. 
  • Teach children how to sneeze, without spreading their germs

Five little snowmen standing in a row. 
Each had a hat and a big red bow. 
Out came the sun and it shone all day. 
One little snowman melted away.

Four little snowmen standing in a row. 
Each had a hat and a big red bow. 
Out came the sun and it shone all day. 
One little snowman melted away.

Three little snowmen standing in a row. 
Each had a hat and a big red bow. 
Out came the sun and it shone all day. 
One little snowman melted away.

Two little snowmen standing in a row. 
Each had a hat and a big red bow. 
Out came the sun and it shone all day. 
One little snowman melted away.

One little snowmen standing all alone. 
He had a hat and a big red bow. 
Out came the sun and it shone all day. 
And the one little snowman melted away.
Now all the little snowmen melted away!
