Activity Set: Where do you Live and Weather.
This is aimed at the infant classes.
Introduction:
Discuss today’s weather. Discuss the clothes we are going to wear out to the yard at break time – are we going to wear our rain coats? Our warm, fluffy coats? Our sunglasses? Our sunhats? How do the clothes we wear tell us about the weather? Discuss as a class.
Activity A:
Children sit in a circle. Box of clothes in the middle of the circle. Pick out ½ children at a time and ask them to dress for hot/ cold/ wet/ dry weather. Other children speak about what they put on them and discuss what you might add to the outfit or change about the outfit. Next, get Child A to tell Child B what weather to dress for. Child B must dress themselves for this weather. The other children must guess what kind of weather Child A told to Child B. There is lots of fun ways to expand this activity.
Activity B:
Activity sheet. Colour the clothes you would wear on a hot, dry day red. Colour the clothes you would wear on a cold, wet day blue. Circle the clothes you could wear on both days.
