Itsy Bitsy Spider Song

Description

Itsy Bitsy Spider can be heard at

Lyrics

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.
The itsy bitsy spider went 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 went up the spout again.

Oh, look out, here he comes again

Fingerplay

The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.
(Fingerplay: Alternately touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other.)
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
(Hold both hands up and wiggle the fingers as the hands are lowered. Sweep the hands from side to side.)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
(Raise both hands and sweep to the sides to form a semicircle as the sun. Wiggle fingers upwards.)
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
(As in the first line.)

Note

As a popular nursery rhyme and finger-play that describes the adventures of a spider as it ascends, descends, and reascends the downspout or "waterspout" of a gutter system or, alternatively, the spout of a teapot or open-air reservoir. It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song.
