We divide the year into seasons. Each season usually relates to differences in weather. Some countries have four distinct seasons, others have wet and dry seasons, some countries have other seasons such as a 'hurricane' season.
The topic of the seasons touches on many elements of the school curriculum, for example, climate and weather, differences around the world, how changing seasons affect animal behaviour. You'll find resources about the seasons on LearnEnglish Kids on this page: http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-topics-seasons.htm
With these materials children will be able to:
practise words related to nature and the seasonsActivities are marked with a symbol on the topics webpage (http://www.britishcouncil.org/kids-topics-seasons.htm) to indicate the best age group and level. Look at these when you choose which activities to use with your child.
Younger children will enjoy the simple action song 'The Leaves on the Trees' and the story 'The Lazy Bear'. There is also a simple 'colour and read' worksheet, and some ideas about craft ideas that you could do with your child. How about making a spring flower crown?
Older children may be interested in how changing seasons affect animals - you could find out about what happens to animals in each season where you live. Or older children may be interested in telling us about the seasons where they live and finding out about what happens in other parts of the world - you'll find notes about this activity below.
Below you'll find an idea for an activity you can try with your child using some of these materials.
