Identify basic weather vocabulary terms such as windy, cloudy, snowy, cold, etc., with an exciting game of Bingo!
Looking For Weather Activities?
Students learn the importance of understanding different weather conditions as early as preschool. Children learn how to describe the temperature, if there is any form or precipitation, and what conditions are present. Teach Starter has created a bingo game to help your young students recognize 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.
