Description
How to Teach Types of Weather
This weather wiz activity helps 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students describe four kinds of weather: sunny, rainy, snowy and cloudy. Children read short facts about what the sky looks like, what we wear and what happens outside, then decide which kind of weather each fact describes. Connecting clues to a weather type builds the observation and science vocabulary students use when they talk about the daily weather.
How to Play Weather Wiz
Players fold and cut sixteen fold-over weather fact cards. On each turn, a player reads a fact out loud, names the weather it tells about, then flips the card to check the weather picture on the back. Correct answers are recorded on the Weather Wiz Sort Chart by writing the card number in the right column. Play continues until every card is sorted. This weather sorting game works well in a science center, with partners or as a whole-class warm-up.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep and game steps
- 16 fold-over weather fact cards that check themselves
- A Weather Wiz Sort Chart with sunny, rainy, snowy and cloudy columns
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet: read a fact and circle the weather picture
- Answer keys for the sort chart and the practice worksheet
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, students practice reading short informational sentences and pulling out the key clue. Second, sorting facts into categories builds careful thinking about what makes each kind of weather different. Third, the self-checking cards give instant feedback, so children can play on their own and learn from each answer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Start the weather wiz activity by looking out the window together and describing the sky. Keep the Sort Chart in a science folder and have children add a new fact each day from their own weather observations. For an extra challenge, ask students to write their own fact card for windy or foggy weather.
