Description
The Weather Words Matching Worksheet gives young students a first vocabulary for the sky. Cloud, rain, snow, sun and wind are the five words a first grader needs before any other weather lesson makes sense, because every chart, forecast and science reader leans on them. Naming what the weather is doing is also the first step toward describing and recording it, which is where early earth science begins.
This printable works in two passes. In Part A the child reads five short clues and draws a line from each weather word to the clue it belongs with, so the word is tied to a real property rather than to a picture that gives it away. In Part B the same five words come back as fill in the blank sentences, and this time the child has to write the whole word from memory. Print it for a science center, morning work, a weather unit warm up, or homework, and use the answer key on the last page to check it in seconds.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page plus a complete answer key page
- Five weather word cards: cloud, rain, snow, sun and wind
- Part A: five matching clues with a wide line-drawing gutter
- Part B: five fill in the blank sentences with roomy writing lines
- Large first grade print and a full width writing line for every answer
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Matching a word to a written clue asks the child to read for meaning, not to recognize a picture.
- Writing the word out in Part B turns recognition into spelling, which is what a weather journal will need.
- Each word is used exactly once in each part, so there is no guessing by elimination at the end.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Look out of the window together first and ask which of the five words fits today. Keep the Weather Words Matching Worksheet in a folder and repeat it after a rainy day and after a snowy one, so the words attach to real weather the child remembers. This kindergarten earth science worksheet also pairs well with a class weather chart, a daily sky drawing, or a walk outside to feel the wind.
