Objective: Children will observe and record how wind moves things.
Materials: My Wind Walk skill sheet, pencils, crayons
- On a windy day, pass out copies of the skill sheet. Point out the different things kids might see blowing in the wind. If you like, have kids color the pictures.
- Then go for a walk outside and have kids circle the things they see. Alternatively, you can do the activity during outdoor time—kids can observe the wind’s effects right from the playground!
- Back inside, have kids choose one thing they saw to write and draw about. It can be something from the skill sheet or something else. On the back of the sheet, have them describe the item and how the wind moved it, and then draw a picture. (SKILL: L.1.1 Conventions of English when writing)
