What’s Inside The Weather Box?
Rain? Clouds? Rainbows? Sun? What could be inside The Weather Box? Let’s find out!
Activities for Learning Math
1 Clear the Clouds
- Materials: Clear the Clouds game mats, Clear the Clouds cards, cotton ball "clouds"
- Game mechanics: Help the kids clear the clouds so they can fly their kites! Players will put 20 cotton ball "clouds" on top of the game mat they chose. Then, they will shuffle the cards and place them upside-down. On your turn, randomly select a card. Identify the number of clouds shown on the card. (The cards are tens frames!) Remove that many "clouds" from your game mat. The first player to remove all of the clouds from his/her game mat wins!
- About the game: This is a great game for preschoolers who are learning to count to ten. They will have to keep counting until they remove all the clouds on their game mat. And as the game progresses, they become more excited, they won’t even notice they are practicing counting already!
2 Sunshine Patterns
- Materials: Sunshine Pattern cards, cardstock sunrays, glue
- Game mechanics: This Sunshine Patterns activity is like 6 mini crafts, with the added bonus of learning patterns! Let your preschooler select a Sunshine Patterns card. Moving from left to right, point to each sunray as you name its color. Pause as you point to the blank sunray and encourage your child to help identity which colored ray should come next. Select the correct colored sunray and glue it onto its correct spot to complete the pattern.
- About the game: Pattern and color recognition are important math skills gained through this game. You can choose to do just one card at a time and save the rest for another day.
Literacy Activities
1 Dress for the Weather
- Materials: Dress for the Weather game mats, Dress for the Weather cards, mini clothespins, glue dots
- Game mechanics: Using the glue dots, adhere 3 clothespins to each game mat on top of the clothespin illustration. Discuss the weather shown on each game mat: rainy, sunny, and snowy. What types of clothes are most appropriate for each type of weather? Clip the Dress for the Weather cards on the game mat with the corresponding weather.
- About the game: It is also important to teach kids about appropriate clothing for different weather conditions, and this game is a nice way to introduce this topic. While playing this with your child, you can also give more examples of other clothing and ask them when they should wear it.
2 Storm Race
- Materials: Storm Race game mat, 3 pawn playing pieces, Bingo chip "raindrop" (to be used as the storm playing piece), paperclip, pencil
- Game mechanics: Help the kids get home safely before the thunderstorm hits. This is a cooperative game - all players work together and everyone wins or loses together. First, place the Bingo chip "raindrop" storm playing piece on the storm start space, while the 3 pawn playing pieces on the kids to start. On your turn, place the paperclip in the middle of the spinner. Put the pencil tip inside the paperclip. Then, flick the paperclip to spin.
- If you spin the lightning bolt, move the storm piece down one space on the storm track.
- If you spin a letter, select any one of the kid pieces to move to the next unoccupied space that matches the letter you spun.
- If the next matching letter space is occupied by another kid piece, the kid you are moving passes over that kid to the next space with that letter.
- If all the kids make it home before the storm reaches the end of the track (before the storm hits), you win! But if the storm piece reaches the last space before all the kids are home, the storm has hit and you lose!
- About the game: Storm Race is an exciting game that will help your kids develop your kid’s letter recognition skills. It is also a great activity to teach them to follow directions and develop socialization and cooperation!
3 Cloud Sounds
- Materials: Cloud Sounds game mat, Bingo chip "raindrops"
- Game mechanics: Before starting, name each picture with your child, so they are familiar with it. The grownup guide has a key so you can easily identify the objects! Then, identify the picture on a child's umbrella and the sound that it starts with. Point out that it has the same sound as letters in the cloud. Ask your child to put a Bingo chip "raindrop" on each picture with the same beginning sound as the picture on the child's umbrella. Repeat to complete the rest of the game mat.
- About the game: Learning sounds is the first step to reading. And this game can help your preschooler learn sounds while having fun!
