A set of 24 lovely cards for teaching weather vocabulary! Includes signed and unsigned cards and a set of 24 pairs of matching cards (words and pictures for games).

These cards will help you to represent the key vocabulary, increase kids’ language skills by making simple dialogues about the weather or role plays in which students pretend to broadcast the weather forecast in different regions of their country or the world. You may also use them as a marvelous decoration in the classroom.

The set contains the following words: sunny, partly cloudy, partly sunny, cloudy, snowy, rainbow, foggy, rainy, sleeting, hailing, lighting, thunderstorm, clear, dew, windy, tornado, snowflake, raindrop, sunglasses, umbrella, thermometer, cold, warm, hot.

Flashcard games:

· Listen, point and say. Place flashcards or objects for the key vocabulary around the classroom. Call out a vocabulary word. The children point to the correct flashcard or object. Alternatively, play the chant with the target vocabulary and the children point or touch the correct card when they hear the word. Now point to the flashcards one by one, the children must say the words. Option: describe the location of the card, e.g. It's next to the window. What's this? The children then say the word.   

· What's missing? Put a number of flashcards (6-8) on the table (or floor) face-up in order all the players could see them properly. Students look at the cards trying to memorize as many as possible. Ask them to close their eyes and remove one (or more cards). Ask: what's missing? They must name the missing card. The student who does it first, gets a point or has a go to take away another card. Option: to make the game harder, add a new card from a related lexical set each time or remove more than one card. To make the game more effective, and reduce teacher talking time, divide the students into groups and give them cards with vocabulary you want them to learn or revi se.

· Memory game. Print two sets of flashcards. Put all cards face down on the floor (or table), determine the order of the players in the game. Children take turns to open two cards and name them. If they match, the player keeps the cards and has another go, if they don't the cards are turned over again and another child goes. At the end of the game you can ask children to make short sentences with target grammar and vocabulary using the cards they have won. 

· Snowball. Use the target vocabulary flashcards, give each student a flashcard and ask them to stand in a line or a circle. The first student names his card, the second student repeats the first card and the second. Continue in this way until everyone has named the card s/he has got. You may practice grammar patterns as well, e.g. S1: I'm jumping. S2: He is jumping and I'm running./S3: He is jumping. She is running and I'm swimming etc.
