How to Use These ESL Flashcards

• Vocabulary Introduction: Show each card, model “It’s sunny,” “It’s windy,” and have students repeat.

• Daily Weather Routine: Ask “What’s the weather today?” Students choose the card and make a class weather chart.

• TPR & Actions: Pretend to shiver for “cold,” fan for “hot,” blow for “windy,” open an umbrella for “rainy.”

• Speaking & Dialogues: “How’s the weather?” “It’s cloudy.” “What should we wear?” “A coat and boots.”

• Grammar Focus: Practice It’s + adjective; There is/There are (“There is a rainbow”); past/future (“Yesterday was rainy,” “Tomorrow will be sunny”).

• Phonics & Spelling: Sort by initial sounds (s-sunny, r-rainy, w-windy); build word cards for spelling.

• Games: Weather Bingo, Memory/Matching, Go Fish, Charades, I Spy, and forecast role-play as a TV weather reporter.

• Cross-Curricular: Connect to seasons and clothes; graph weekly weather and compare results.

• Laminate for Durability: Ideal for centers, small groups, task cards, and quick assessments.
