How Can We Explore Weather Together? | CDE Flash Card

Begin at the window

Ask what the sky looks like today. Is it sunny, cloudy or rainy? Look outside together before choosing a word. In Malaysia, children may notice sudden rain, warm afternoons and puddles after a shower. Use the weather they actually experience.

Connect words to choices

Talk about why you take an umbrella or wait for the rain to stop. Feel a breeze in a safe outdoor place, watch clouds move or notice where puddles form. Keep explanations simple and never ask children to go outdoors during unsafe weather.

Try a tiny weather record

For a few days, draw one sun, cloud or raindrop to describe what you observed. Ask what changed from yesterday. You can also read a weather story or look at pictures that show different skies.

Use cards as a prompt

If you have weather cards in your learning materials, show one that matches the day and name it together. The view outside gives the word a real meaning.
