I would choose the Activity . Weather. What clothes to wear?
In Early start each day , one child goes to the window and looks outside , then reports to the others what our weather is like. We look at the sky ? Is it cloudy or clear.? Is it raining? Is the sun shining?. Are the trees blowing in the wind? We then choose a picture card to represent our weather today and stick it on our weekly chart.
Having done this for some time we can introduce the idea of the clothing we need for the day. Have a discussion each day about “what did we wear coming to school today?”. Noticing if we needed a raincoat, did we wear light clothes, did I wear gloves etc.
Activity. Bring in a box of various types of clothes, and footwear. A box for all seasons.
Place the box in the center of our circle and ask a child to choose clothes for a specific type of weather, eg.. hot , cold ,wet .
Other children can offer suggestions as to what is best to choose and why.
Discuss choices.
Follow up Activity;Set up two areas in the room. our summer sun section, and our winter cold destination. Choose the clothes we need to wear.
Have fun dressing up for and playing.
