Children’s songs to sing on a rainy day / children’s songs with a rain theme

When it rains, you can’t go play outside, and kids tend to feel a bit gloomy, don’t they?

At times like that, listen to or sing children’s songs with a “rain” theme to make rainy days a little brighter!

In this article, we’ve gathered a variety of children’s songs themed around “rain,” including songs that describe how the rain falls, songs that evoke the image of rain, and songs that capture the excitement after the rain stops.

Even children who feel they don’t like rain might start to like it a little after listening to the songs we introduce.

On gloomy rainy days, let’s sing and keep our spirits up!

Pitchanponyukichan, wanwan, u-tan, kukku-

A cute song that rhythmically expresses the sound of falling rain.

It captures the excitement of a rainy day—going for a walk in rain boots and twirling colorful umbrellas—set to a lively tempo.

It was included on the March 2018 album “NHK Inai Inai Baa! Homerarechatta,” with a DVD released around the same time.

Perfect for the rainy season, it’s a tune you can enjoy singing and moving to indoors on those restless, can’t-go-out rainy days.
