Winter, spring, summer, fall, and why
Young kids learn the four seasons in order and what each one brings: snow, new buds, hot days and falling leaves. They match clothing, weather and activities to each season and connect the seasons to the months of the year. Older kids learn the reason behind them. The Earth is tilted, so as it travels around the sun, each half takes a turn leaning toward the sun and getting more direct light and longer days. It's a common surprise that seasons are not caused by Earth getting closer to the sun. The click is when kids realize it's summer in Australia while we're building snowmen.
Seasons are something kids live through every year. These moves help them notice and explain it.
A seasons song makes the order stick: winter, spring, summer, fall, and around again. Sing it every morning during the unit and have kids point to a seasons wheel as they sing. Even your youngest learners will have it in a week.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withSeasons Song (Animated Music Video)SongsOpen it →Darken the room, shine a flashlight on a globe, and walk it around the "sun" keeping the tilt the same. Kids watch which half gets the direct light. Then they label the tilt on a diagram. Seeing it first makes the explanation make sense.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
Try it withSeasonal Tilt WorksheetWorksheetsOpen it →Fold paper into four boxes and have kids draw the same tree in every season. Then they label what changes: leaves, weather, clothes. One tree, four pictures, and the whole cycle is in their hands.
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).

The tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth orbits the sun, the half tilted toward the sun gets more direct sunlight and longer days, which makes summer. The half tilted away has winter.
Winter, spring, summer and fall (also called autumn), then back to winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter starts in December and summer starts in June.
No. The Southern Hemisphere has opposite seasons, so when it's winter in the United States, it's summer in Australia. Places near the equator have warm weather all year and often have rainy and dry seasons instead.
Preschool and kindergarten kids name the seasons and describe their weather. In the upper elementary grades, kids learn that the Earth's tilt and orbit cause the seasons.
