Predict Weather Practice Activities
Printable preschool and kindergarten science activities help children use simple weather clues to predict what might happen next.
Practice that builds confidence
From observation to prediction
These Predict Weather worksheets help preschool and kindergarten children notice everyday weather clues—clouds, sunshine, rain, wind, and temperature—and use them to make a reasonable prediction about what may happen next.
The printable activities include picture-based questions, matching, choosing likely weather outcomes, and simple drawing or circling tasks. Children practise saying why they think a rainy, sunny, cloudy, or windy day might be coming.
Young learners first need to look closely before they can predict. These worksheets guide children to study simple scenes: dark clouds in the sky, a child holding an umbrella, leaves blowing, or the sun shining. The goal is not to “guess the forecast” perfectly, but to connect visible clues with likely weather.
Building useful weather vocabulary
Children use words such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, hot, cold, stormy, wet, dry, and forecast. They may circle the weather that comes next, match a clue to a weather picture, or choose clothing that fits the expected weather. These tasks strengthen science language while keeping the thinking visual and age-appropriate.
A simple routine for parents
Try a quick weather talk before starting a worksheet. Look out a window together and ask, “What do you notice?” Then ask, “What might happen later?” Encourage your child to give a reason: “I think it may rain because the clouds are dark.” After the page, compare the prediction with the real weather later in the day and talk about whether the clues helped.
Classroom and center use
Teachers can use these pages during a weather unit, morning meeting, science centers, or after reading a weather-themed book. Children can work independently on picture choices, then share their reasoning with a partner. The worksheets also pair well with a class weather chart where students record today’s weather and discuss what tomorrow might be like.
Common errors to watch for
Some children choose their favorite weather instead of using evidence. Others may think one clue always means the same result, such as “clouds always mean rain.” Gently remind them that predictions are smart ideas based on clues, not certain answers. Watch for confusion between current weather and future weather; ask, “What is happening now?” and “What might happen next?”

Why iBloom worksheets help
The pages keep prediction practice concrete, with clear pictures and limited choices suited to preschool and kindergarten attention spans. A child-friendly strategy is: Look, name the clue, then tell what might happen. For example, “I see dark clouds. It might rain.” This habit helps children explain their thinking, not just mark an answer.
