Weather Types Practice Activities
Printable preschool and kindergarten science worksheets for recognizing sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, windy, and stormy weather.
Practice that builds confidence
Building early weather vocabulary
These weather types worksheets help preschool and kindergarten children notice, name, and compare the weather they see outside. Children practise identifying sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, windy, and stormy days using pictures, simple words, and everyday observations.
The printable activities include matching, sorting, coloring, circling, and drawing tasks that connect weather words to visual clues. They are designed for early science lessons, morning work, weather charts, and at-home conversations about the day’s weather.
Weather types are a natural starting point for young scientists because children can observe them every day. These worksheets build words such as sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, windy, and stormy, while helping children connect each word to clues: sun rays, raindrops, clouds, snowflakes, blowing leaves, or lightning. The focus is not memorizing definitions; it is noticing evidence and using clear language.
From naming to comparing
The activities move from simple recognition to more careful thinking. A child may first match a picture of an umbrella to rainy weather, then sort several scenes into weather groups, and later choose clothing or activities that fit a weather type. This progression supports observation, classification, and early reasoning without requiring advanced reading.
A simple routine for parents
Try a short daily weather routine before or after a worksheet. Look out a window together and ask, “What do you see in the sky?” “Is anything moving?” and “What would we wear today?” Then have your child point to, circle, or color the matching weather picture. If the weather changes later, revisit the page and talk about how weather can be different in the morning and afternoon.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables with a weather chart, science center, calendar time, or a unit on seasons. They work well for whole-group picture discussions, small-group vocabulary practice, or independent follow-up after reading a weather book. Children can also use completed pages to explain their thinking: “I chose windy because the kite is flying and the leaves are moving.”
Common mix-ups to watch for
Young learners may confuse cloudy and rainy because both can show gray skies. Encourage them to look for raindrops, puddles, or umbrellas before calling it rainy. Windy weather can also be hard to “see,” so point out clues such as bent trees, flying hats, or moving flags. For snowy weather, discuss that snow is cold and looks different from rain.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The pages use familiar scenes and clear visual cues so children can succeed while still thinking carefully. A child-friendly strategy is: look at the sky, look for clues on the ground, then say the weather word. This simple “sky-clue-word” habit helps children explain their answers, not just guess from a picture.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What weather types are covered in these worksheets?
The worksheets focus on common weather types young children can recognize: sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, windy, and stormy weather.
Are these weather activities suitable for preschool children?
Yes. Many activities use pictures, matching, coloring, and simple choices, so preschool children can practise weather words even if they are not reading independently.
How can I use these worksheets with a daily weather chart?
Have children observe the weather first, mark the class or home weather chart, and then complete a matching worksheet page that shows the same type of weather.
What should I do if my child confuses cloudy and rainy weather?
Ask your child to look for extra clues. Clouds alone show cloudy weather, while raindrops, puddles, umbrellas, or wet ground suggest rainy weather.
