Thematic Connection: Dressing for the Seasons
Objective: Identify articles of clothing that are appropriate for different seasons.
Here is a little game we can play: Clothing: Hot and Cold Days.
“Hot” and “cold” are words to describe temperature. Temperature often affects how we dress.
Precipitation also affects how we dress. Precipitation refers to rain, snow, and hail. When it’s raining, we usually need to wear special clothing. Conversely, if there is no precipitation and it’s really bright and sunny, many people will put on sunscreen, wear sunglasses, or use parasols (sun umbrellas).
Round 3: Grab something that you would wear on a rainy day and share why you picked it.
Round 4: Grab something that you would wear on a snow day and share why you picked it.
