Weather Word Search (Large Print)

The weather can change while you are still working on this page. Sunshine, mist, rain, and a sudden gust all belong in this word search, which brings everyday observations together without asking for a forecast. It is an easy theme to introduce at a group meeting because everyone can look outside or remember the conditions on the way in.

Playing tips and a fun fact

Start with the shortest entries and notice how many describe water in different forms. DEW, ICE, and RAIN use only a few letters, but they point to very different sights. For longer words, scan for a distinctive pair such as TH in THUNDER. A group can keep a small tally of words that match today's conditions.

A rainbow appears when sunlight interacts with water droplets, bending and separating into colors. Its curved appearance is a useful drawing prompt after a black-and-white puzzle. Finish by designing simple weather symbols for a homemade calendar. The symbols do not need to predict anything; they can simply record what participants noticed during the afternoon.

Ideas to extend the activity

  • Draw symbols for a weather calendar.
  • Describe the sky outside.
  • Sort words into wet, icy, and windy groups.
