Grade 2 Weather Vocabulary Worksheet (with Answer Key)

Student Task

• Use after the Vocabulary PowerPoint's weather slides. Complete Part A together as a class the first time, then let students finish Parts B and C independently. The Challenge task works well as an exit ticket or as homework.

Classroom Use

• After finishing, have students stand up and act out their Challenge weather word while classmates guess which weather word from the word bank they are showing.

Differentiation

Support: Read each riddle aloud slowly, and allow students to keep the word bank visible while completing every part of the worksheet, not just Part A.
On-Level: Students complete the worksheet as designed, moving from picture recognition to riddles independently.
Challenge: Ask early finishers to write one original riddle for a weather word not yet used and trade with a partner to solve.

Answer Key & Assessment

Collect Part A and Part B as a quick written check of vocabulary recall. Use the Challenge drawing and sentence as an informal check that students can apply a weather word to a real, current context.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to name all 8 weather words from a picture.
• Students will be able to complete a sentence with the correct weather word.
• Students will be able to read a simple riddle and identify the weather word it describes.

Teacher Tips

Read the four riddles in Part C aloud as a class before students answer independently — the riddle format is new for most students, and one modeled example makes the rest much easier.
