THIS LESSON WAS REVISED ON JULY 1, 2021. Here is a link to the previous version.
In this Read-Along lesson, students listen to an illustrated digital storybook with student participation. If you would prefer to read it aloud yourself, you can switch to the non-narrated version. In the story, JJ and his grandfather get ready for a big thunderstorm. In the activity, Get Ready for a Storm, students learn about other kinds of storms and act out ways to prepare for storms.

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!
