Hands-on classroom themed activities
Activity: What clothes to wear- Seasons
I really like the idea of letting the children engage in this type of active learning and would enjoy using these lessons in my classroom.
Introduction: To introduce the lesson to the children I would ask the children what the seasons are. I will then open a discussion about the different seasons and what the weather is like at certain times of the year. I would ask the children what clothes might you wear when it is raining, when the sun is shining etc.
Main: I would then give the children flash cards with a variety of clothes and ask them in small groups if they could match the clothing with the different weathers. E.g rain coat for rainy days, sun hat for warm days and so on.
Conclusion: I would ask the children what their favourite season and type of weather is. Then I would ask the children to draw themselves in the close they need for this particular season/weather and why they choose it.
