The weather is a common experience for people all over the world. It doesn’t matter where you live or what language you speak—the weather impacts your life.
When it comes to teaching a child a new language, the weather is a valuable topic because it’s one that children are already familiar with. They already know what it’s like to be in warm weather and cold weather—so it’s often easier for them to learn these words that they’re already using in daily conversations.
In my video, “How To Say Weather In Spanish: Fun Learning For Children”, I teach children weather vocabulary through repetition, conversation, and a game. If you’re familiar with my curriculum, this video is part of my Level 1 MSMZ program.
Watch now:
Why is it helpful to learn about the weather in Spanish?
The topic of weather already relates to their everyday life, so learning it in a new language is something that they can easily transfer and apply to their daily lives.
Weather vocabulary is practical and helpful for children to know because it helps them to have meaningful conversations in the language they’re learning. Weather terms empower children to ask questions, describe their surroundings, and make plans.
Are you ready to take your child’s Spanish learning one step further?
I love using games to encourage children to expand their vocabulary. In this interactive game, I apply the concept of comprehensible input to teaching weather vocabulary to children in Spanish.
Comprehensive input is “language input that can be understood by listeners despite them not understanding all the words and structures in it». I apply this by using relevant imagery, adding context, using repetition, and encouraging children to actively participate.
