Weather Chart For Kids (Page 3 of 4) in pdf

Lesson plan

You can model how to fill in the chart on the board. Depending on the age of your

students you can either use pictures of snow and rain etc with only the seasons

written or you can supply the phrases 'It's windy' for them to copy onto their

charts.

4. Stage 4 – Using

Once the chart has been made demonstrate how to use it with your own poster

the weather chart

sized chart. Show how you can match a season to a weather picture and say 'In

spring it's sunny.' 'In winter it's snowy.' You can hide where you have put your

indicators and say 'In Autumn it's windy.' The children then have to put their

indicators to the pictures you described on their own charts.

Then they can check if they were correct when you reveal your chart. Get a few of

the children to do as you did for the whole class. This can then be done in pairs or

small groups.

You can also practise adjectives when demonstrating how to use the chart. You

can elicit sentences such as: 'In winter it's cold.' and 'In summer it's hot.' This is a

good way to introduce the seasons as well.

Again with the chart hidden and working in pairs, one child puts the weather

indicator onto a picture. His/her partner has to ask 'Is it sunny?' and she/he

replies 'Yes it is' or 'No it isn't' depending on where their indicator is.

At the end of the lesson you can display the charts and each lesson they can put

their chart indicators onto the correct weather for that particular day.

5. Homework

Students can use a table to record the weather for the week. You could

photocopy this for them or they could copy it into their notebooks:

DAY

What’s the weather like?

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Students should complete the chart for each day with a picture (again, you could

give them the symbols for sun, cloud, rain) and a short sentence – e.g. ‘It’s

sunny’.

6. Follow up

In pairs they can compare their homework weather charts drilling sentences such
