Three extra practice tasks

Written for this theme, no printing needed. Use them as fillers, homework ideas or a second lesson.

  1. 1. TV weather presenter

    Draw a map of the country with weather symbols. Children take turns presenting the forecast to the 'camera'.

    Model languageGood morning! Today it's sunny in the south and rainy in the north.

  2. 2. Four corners

    Each corner of the room is a season. Children go to their favourite and tell the group why.

    Model languageI like winter because I can play in the snow.

  3. 3. Dress for the weather

    Show a weather card; teams race to say three clothes for it.

    Model languageIt's snowy! A coat, a scarf and boots!
