Weather bingo

Weather bingo goes with the morning weather chart in a preschool or early-grades classroom, and with the weather unit in an ESL course. The cards show sun, clouds, rain, snow and storms, the seasons, and what we wear for each kind of weather, every square with its picture and its word. Download 30 different 4x4 cards with a caller sheet, or make your own set below.

Play it after the weather report

Start the game with today's weather: whoever has the picture for the sky outside marks it first. Then call the rest. Over a week, keep the winning cards and see which weather came up most; it is a small first step into keeping a weather diary.

What to wear

Some squares are clothes: a coat, a scarf, sunglasses, shorts. Instead of calling them, call the weather and let players mark what they would wear for it. "It's snowing" can mean the snowman, the gloves or the scarf, so ask each player to say why they marked their square.

Words for weather

The words are the ones children hear in a weather report: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, foggy, stormy. For an ESL class, play with the words first, then make Pictures only cards with the form below and call the words without showing them.

Questions

How many squares are on a weather bingo card?

16: the cards are 4x4, chosen from 32 weather pictures, so every card is different and a line needs only four marks.

Can I make 5x5 weather cards?

Yes. Change the card size in the form on this page; you may want to add a few words, such as seasons or clothes, so the cards are different enough.

Can I use it without the words?

Yes. Choose Pictures only in the form and make the cards again.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up: the cards, the caller sheet and the winner check.
