Looking For Weather Activities?

As early as preschool, students learn the importance of understanding different weather conditions. Children learn how to describe the temperature, if there is any form of precipitation and what conditions are present. Teach Starter has created a bingo game to help your young students recognise basic weather terms. 

This download includes 25 bingo boards and two sets of calling cards. One version includes just the vocabulary terms, while the other has written descriptions.

To play, give each student a Bingo board and counters. Choose which calling cards you are going to use: vocabulary terms or descriptions. As you call out a card, students cover the type of weather with a counter if it is on their board. Students score a Bingo when they have four counters in a row.

Please note that the image with windy crossed out represents calm, and the image with cloudy crossed out represents the term ‘clear.’

Through this activity, students will practice identifying the 12 weather terms: hot, warm, cool, cold, calm, windy, clear, cloudy, rainy, sunny, snowy and icy.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your science lessons. 

Use this bingo game to enhance learning through small groups, whole class lessons or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Help students who need help understanding the concepts by providing an anchor chart or poster reminding the students of the meanings of the various weather terms.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students that are ready for more of a challenge, use the calling cards with the descriptions on them. Additionally, students can write sentences with each of the vocabulary terms.
