🍁Introduction

To lead the children in the theme, you can watch the following educational video where the four seasons are introduce, together with some basic words that match with each of them about heat and activities[ex.spring=warm, flowers/summer=hot, beach, etc.]. Also, at the end of the video there is a small revision, so the children can repeat the words and learn some new vocabulary.

🍁Sorting activity

Having done the previous activities, it is time to test children's new knoledge. Here is a nice activity where kids have to match the pictures with the right season. I forward a link from the website teacherpayteachers.com, a great resource with free printables!⇀Season sorting

At the same time, children can practise on the scissors cutting skill.

Note: If you can not print, you can always make your worksheets with simple drawings.✎

🍁Action game
This time we are going to combine the seasons with the weather. That is why I suggest to have already gone through the Lesson plan: Weather. For this game you will need clothing and items according to seasons. It's a dress up game where the kids have to dress themselves up with the right clothes. For example, take shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, boots, jacket, coat, jumper, dress, sunglasses, hat, umbrella, etc. Place them on the floor and ask ''What should you wear on a (windy) autumn's day?''. Like this ask for all the seasons. Don't forget that some clothes/items can be used for more than one season. I think your children are gonna love the transformation!
