Weather Chart For Kids (Page 2 of 4) in pdf

Procedure

1. Stage 1 –

There are a number of weather related poems and songs you could use here.

Introduce topic with

a poem and a song

For younger children:

My favourites include Incy Wincy Spider . This is great as it involves hand

actions and you can get students to sequence illustrations for the poem after.

Give each pair of students a set of pictures taken from the rhyme. Go to

this

link

on the Enchanted Learning website, or draw your own.

In their pairs students put the pictures into the correct order. Practise saying

the rhyme again as they follow their pictures to check the order. Pre-teach word

like rain and sunshine.

For older children:

'I Hear Thunder' is a good one to use. It is sung to the tune of 'Frère

Jacques' and you can find the word here. I like this song because you can split

the class up into teams and make it a team effort to sing better than the other

team.

You can be ambitious and try and sing in a round! It might get a bit messy but

can be fun.

If the teacher is with you then get him/her to be the singing leader for one team

and you for the other. Pre-teach word like thunder, raindrops, pitter, patter, and

wet etc.

2. Stage 2 –Printable

Go to the British Council's LearnEnglish Kids website where you will find

worksheets /

downloadable printable worksheets. Go to this

link

where you will find the

Computer activities

weather topic page with printable worksheets and activities.

If you can take them to the computer room then there is a good weather game

here. They will need to know the present simple 'It is rainy', and the future. 'It

will be very windy'. It's a map of Britain and they have toread the weather

report and match the weather pictures to the correct area in Great Britain.

3. Stage 3 – Make a

Provide each child with a large circle of card. Draw a line across the middle from

weather chart

left to right to split the chart into seasons in the top half and weather types on the

bottom half. Basically split it like a camembert. You should also provide strips of

paper or card to act as indicators. You can make small holes in the centre of the

circles before class to make this stage more child-friendly.

Give each child a paper fastener and demonstrate how to attach the indicators or

clock hands onto the chart.
