This guessing game is a fun way to review weather vocabulary with kids and practice asking and answering “How’s the weather?” There are 10 rounds in which students choose between two possible answers to guess the weather. If they guess correctly, they earn a point. You can use it as a warm-up activity or as a review game at the end of class.

How to Play This Weather Guessing Game

To play, simply show the video in class. There are 10 rounds. In each round, students are asked “How’s the weather?” and given two possible answers (for example, “It’s sunny” or “It’s rainy”). Students must guess which one will be revealed. There are several ways you can use this game in class:

As a whole-class warm-up or brain break: Play the video and pause after each question to give students time to answer. To indicate their choice, students can raise their hands (for example: “Who thinks it is sunny?” / “Who thinks it is rainy?”). To make it more active, ask students to move to one side of the room to show their guess. This version works particularly well with young learners.
As a word recognition game: To build recognition skills, give each student or pair of students some weather flashcards. When the options appear, they find the card and hold it up to indicate their guess.
As a writing task: If your students need more practice with spelling and sentence formation, pause the video and have them write their guess (for example, “It’s windy”) before revealing the answer.
