Any good ideas out there for group activities for water cycle?

Use colored beads and make a bracelet for the different facets of the water cycle:
Sun-yellow bead
Earth/ground water-brown
water-blue
evaporation--clear bead for gas
condensation--white bead
rain--blue bead (I think)

Kids love to do this and it reminds them of the water cycle components!
Have fun!

We did this one last year and it was great. It takes a bit of prep work on your part, but the kids really got the idea, especially when they got stuck in the ocean.

I'm going to try it. All my students are LEP and they're having a hard time grasping the idea behind the w. cycle.
