Make Rain Music

Celebrate the rain by taking your metal pots and pans outside and making rain music.

Some day when it is pouring rain, gather metal pots, pans, bowls and muffin tins together.

Find a spot where you can set up the items and hear the "rain music" as it splatters on them.

Large plastic bowls make a "thud thud" noise which is not as satifying.

Thin aluminum camping pots make the loudest noise.

If you have a camera that records video, you can capture the sound.

You can also try holding the pots under a downspout.

At the corners of houses, when it is really pouring, sometimes the rain spills over the gutters. Here you can get a satisfying sound as well.

If the rain is cold, put on a rubber glove to protect your hand.

You can also collect the rain in the pots if you'd like.
