Teaching seasons and weather vocabulary helps elementary ESL students describe the world around them and talk about daily life. Using visual materials and interactive activities allows students to connect language with real-life experiences.

Practice Weather Vocabulary with Flashcards

 When teaching the Seasons, the Weather vocabulary is up. Here are the ESL Weather flashcards to introduce them.    

                   

I also made them for FREE in Spanish. LINK:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/El-Clima-Flashcards-The-Weather-Flashcards-in-Spaish-5342516

Ask and Answer Questions

Use the flashcards to sort the Weather into each Season on the board.

                                      Teacher: What season is this ?

Students: Summer !

Teacher: What is the weather ?

Students: It is hot !

Teacher: When is it rainy ?

Students: In the Spring !

Teacher: What is the weather like in the Fall?

Students: It is cloudy and stormy ! 

There is a sorting worksheet to put this into practice. 

Have the students glue the weather words to each Season box.

This is how it looks like. As I told you before, dictate a color for each season and for each weather word.

Teacher: Winter is pink.

I took the templates provided with the months and had the students match month and weather to each season on their notebooks.

Use Interactive Activities 

There is also a flap book to put together Seasons, Months and Weather.

There is a set of Seasons, Months and Weather Cards to sort.

Use Sorting cards

It can be sorted out on a desk as group work.

It can be sorted out using recycled Mc Donald’s Fries containers.

Teachers love board games or game boards! 

Here is another one. Notice that it is a closed game board. Have one of the students throw the dice and depending the number it lands it will be the starting point. For example, if it lands in three or five, the students will start on the rain spot on the board.

The cards can be used or not. The cards are dark yellow and light yellow as the board. If the student lands on light yellow, well, read the light yellow card and answer the question in order to continue playing.

Each student will use a marker picture. I taped an opened clip in the back to make them stand.

Here is the printed the game.

A Seasons and Weather book.

 I made two versions, a reading book. It is a two in one page format, 7 pages to print.

A coloring and tracing book.

I put the book together using yarn. 

And, watch the video on how the  book looks like.

A pocket chart for extra practice. 

Students can work alone or in pairs.

 cards for writing sentences

 It’s like having prompts. Students select words from the cards and write sentences on their notebooks.

Worksheet one. It is a writing the vocabulary words practice.

Then, have the students cut all the vocabulary word boxes and write sentences.
