Give each child a paper thermometer with a sliding red strip. Call out a temperature and they slide to it. Then ask, "Is that a jacket day or a shorts day?" Seeing the scale makes the numbers real.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
