Encourage them to observe the types of weather each day and record it on their printable.
As they fill in the blanks, they will quickly learn about the different types of weather, how it changes and what causes the weather.
Homeschoolers, classrooms and parents can all use these handy weather worksheets.
They can be used as part of a unit on weather, or as a way to enforce and review what has been learned in class.

How Do You Teach Weather to Kids?
When teaching weather to kids, explain first that there are many different types of weather, and each has its own set of characteristics.
Some types of weather are more common than others, and some are more severe.
Understanding the different types of weather can help people make better decisions about when to go outside, what to wear, and how to stay safe.
Types of Weather
Explain to children that the most common types of weather are:
Sunny
Sunny days are when the sun is shining and the sky is clear.
These are usually the nicest days to be outside.
Cloudy
Cloudy days are when there are some clouds in the sky, but the sun is still shining.
These days can be cooler than sunny days, so you might want to dress in layers.
Rainy
Rainy days are when it is raining.
These days can be wet and muddy, so you will want to wear rain boots and a raincoat.
Snowy
Snowy days are when it is snowing.
These days can be very cold, so you will want to dress in warm clothes.
Windy
Windy days are when the wind is blowing.
These days can be gusty, so you will want to hold onto your hat!
There are many other types of weather, but these are the most common.
Learning about all the different types of weather can help you be prepared for whatever mother nature throws your way and it's a great STEM activity too.
Weather Activities
Weather activities are not only educational but can also be a great bonding experience for the family.
Kids will love getting to know more about the weather through watching the daily forecast with you.
Here are a few quick & easy ideas to use to teach your young learner all about weather:
- Fly a kite on a windy day
- Look for rainbows after the rain on a sunny day
- Draw rainbows with chalk in the sidewalk after a rainstorm
- Take a walk in the fall & talk about how the weather affects nature
- Make snowflakes with folded paper and discuss how snowflakes are formed
- Splash in puddles during a rain shower
- Look for shapes in the clouds
- Chart the temperature each day for a week
You can also use weather activities to teach your kids about safety.
For example, you can discuss what to do during a thunderstorm (go inside) or how to stay safe in the sun (wear sunscreen and a hat).
Weather Worksheets
To help your child keep track of the daily weather, we've put together 2 pages of daily weather tasks for the week to print out and use.
The first page is a weather observation page that can be filled out each day.

The tasks include a thermometer to fill out with the temperature, a section to circle the weather icon that matches the weather outside, a writing section, and a place to draw a picture of tomorrow's weather prediction.
The second page is a weather chart that can be used to record the different types of weather that are experienced throughout the week.
Add this printable to your morning basket to learn about the weather every day.
Or you coluld add it to your weather unit study, or use during weather week if you are studying a curriculum like Exploring Nature with Children.
By incorporating weather activities into your day, you can help your kids learn about the world around them in a fun and interactive way.
How Do You Explain Weather?
For older kids, explain that weather is the mix of events that happen each day in our atmosphere.
Weather is different in different parts of the world and changes over minutes, hours, days and weeks.
Most weather happens in the troposphere, the part of Earth's atmosphere that is closest to the ground.
They might be interested to learn more about the layers of the atmosphere.
Now that you know all about the weather, get outside and enjoy the sunshine!
