Weather Match, Say & Spell Cards
Printable weather cards to match, say & spell — visual and verbal support for weather vocabulary, early learning, science and SEND.
These Weather Match, Say & Spell Cards are a versatile, visually clear resource designed to help children learn and practise weather vocabulary through matching, speaking and spelling. This three‑in‑one activity supports vocabulary development, literacy and science learning in a structured, inclusive way.
What’s Included
A PDF set of weather cards with realistic / stylised visuals
Matching picture + word cards for matching games
“Say” cards for speaking: children say the weather word aloud when they see the picture
“Spell” : children practise spelling the weather words (trace, write or copy)
Clean, simple design to reduce cognitive load and support focus
Who This Resource Is For
Early Years (EYFS) and KS1 learners
Children with ASD, ADHD, or other SEND who benefit from visual supports
Teachers, teaching assistants, SEN / Inclusion staff
Speech & Language Therapists working on vocabulary and articulation
Science / topic lessons on weather, seasons or the environment
Home educators, parents, and carers
How to Use It
Matching game: Lay out the picture cards and word cards — have children match each weather picture to its word.
Say the word: Use the “say” cards to encourage children to say the weather vocabulary aloud for pronunciation practice.
Spelling activity: Use the cards for writing practice — children can trace or write the weather words to reinforce spelling.
Science integration: Use in weather or seasons topic work to teach not just vocabulary, but also types of weather and their characteristics.
Intervention / group work: Use for 1:1 or small groups to support vocabulary, literacy and comprehension skills.
Why It’s Helpful
Reinforces weather vocabulary in a multi‑sensory way (visual, verbal, written)
Builds language and literacy skills via speaking and spelling
Supports science understanding: children learn to identify different weather types
Inclusive design: visual + word supports help neurodivergent learners
reusable: print, laminate, and reuse in different activities
Practical Tips & Extensions
Laminate the cards to make them durable and reusable — great for classroom centres.
Use velcro / magnetic board so children can match and move cards around easily.
Combine with a weather chart: children match cards to their daily weather chart.
Extend with a writing prompt: ask children to write a sentence using one of the weather words (“Today it is …”).
Use in science lessons: discuss weather conditions, seasons or the water cycle after matching and spelling.
