Grade 2 Weather Vocabulary Worksheet (with Answer Key)

About This Resource

A 2-page worksheet that practices all 8 weather words through picture identification, fill-in-the-blank sentences, riddle-reading, and a draw-and-write challenge — with a full answer key.

Overview

This worksheet gives students four ways to practice the same 8 weather words: labeling an 8-picture icon grid from a word bank, completing 4 “It is ___” sentences, reading 4 riddles and writing the matching weather word, and a challenge task where students draw today's real weather and write a sentence about it. The repetition across formats (reading, writing, and picture recognition) helps the vocabulary stick before moving on to the grammar-focused worksheet later in the unit.

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.
