Prep Instructions

This activity does not require supplies.

In the activity, students will be introduced to the idea that the weather report — on a smart phone, on a TV, or on a computer — helps people know when to get ready for a coming storm. You can help prepare your students for this aspect of the lesson by asking them — “What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow.” If you want to show them a weather report that’s appropriate for Kindergarten, we have included a link to a daily “weather report for kids” in the extensions for this lesson.

Weather Report for Kids!

Ask your students: What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow? Then find out the answer with “Weather Report for Kids,” a Kindergarten-friendly weather report.

First you will enter your location, since the weather depends on where you are. Local weather is pictured in a way that Kindergarteners can understand — with cartoon children, dressed for the weather today and the weather tomorrow.

Check the weather report one day -- then return the next day to find out if the weather forecast was right!
