 Start by reviewing all the clothes vocabulary using the flashcards provided.

                                       Teacher: What season is this ?

Have the students sort the clothes out on the worksheet.

And sort out along with the weather and Months cutouts from last blog post using the fries containers.

Seasons and Clothes Worksheets! 

The frogs again, but this time Seasons and Clothes.

This is how students should complete the worksheets of the clothes according to the season.

But, that’s not all, have the students cut and paste the frogs on their notebooks. Then, write sentences according to their level.

I put all the notebook writing together into a book!

I made it all into a video.

This is the second worksheet for the reading ring that I presented last blog post. The students color the worksheet and then cut the strips and place it in the book ring.

An extra worksheet.

Have the students create a Venn Diagram. 

Students work in pairs. Assign each student a Season in which they will write about the clothes that are worn on their side of the Venn Diagram. And they write in the center of the Venn Diagram the clothes that are common for both seasons. They will have to discuss on the clothes that are common and the ones that are not. Assign different combination of Seasons.

Winter-Fall, Winter-Spring, Winter-Summer, Fall-Spring, Fall-Summer, Spring-Summer. Have the students present the results to the class.

There are the four Seasons Scenes for the students to complete the weather and dressing the child that will be pasted there. 

Write Sentences About Clothes

Included are the symbols of each season. It can be done as a group work. The students can write a text or do a show and tell about their season.

After the Seasons Scenes are reading, students can do free writing and create a poster.

These are games that you can play with the Seasons Unit or any other.

Word chain. 

Write a Season word on the board, e.g. Summer. Then the students have to say a word with the last letter of the word Summer, e.g. rain. This is a good warm up activity.

Spelling Game

Put a Season flashcard on the board and have teams or individuals make as many words as possible from those letters, e.g. Spring = S/sun, P/pants, R/rain, ,I/I, N/November, G/gloves.

Then, students write sentences using those words.

Teaching seasons with nature helps students notice visual changes in the environment and connect vocabulary with real-life observations, go to the blog post: https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/03/seasons-and-nature.html

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.

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.
