What's the Weather?

WORKSHEETS

                             BE THE WIND!

We gave the children dancing scarves and turned on some nature sounds. We pretended to be like the wind, dance and wave the scarves around.  We explained that breezy means that there is a light, gentle wind - then told them it is getting gusty, and they moved their scarves more vigorously.

WIND PAINTING

The children made their own 'wind' by blowing through a straw to make beautiful artwork. We set out bowls of liquid water color paint and large sheets of paper to practice on. (tip: use glossy finger paper. It allows the paint to move more easily).
