No, no, only the first one is correct. It is raining (when saying the rain is still going on as of the moment.) The second one -- It is rained -- is wrong. Instead you say "It was raining" when you...

Hmn, is there a way to divide the class into at least two? I find 30 way too many. Some of the kids will be needing one-on-one moments, and I can't imagine how you can do that with 30 kids.

I couldn't think of any way to make the play rehearsal it into a game. But maybe you can make it into a little party? Like prepare some food and certain treats for them to enjoy during brief breaks?
