Activities and seasons worksheets for kindergarten

Learning about the seasons is a fun way for children to understand how the year changes. With the help of pictures and worksheets, kids can explore how nature shifts between spring, summer, fall, and winter in a simple, hands-on way.

Tips for teaching the seasons in kindergarten

These activities can be used both in the classroom and at home. They work especially well when paired with short stories, songs, games, or crafts that let children see, hear, and experience the changes each season brings.

Start with what children notice outside –
- Ask questions like: Are the trees green? Is there snow on the ground? Are flowers blooming in the park? Let children share their thoughts and compare what they see now with another time of year.
Use pictures and worksheets as guides –
- Show worksheets with seasonal pictures and point to details such as falling leaves, snowflakes, blooming flowers, or clothing for different weather. This helps children connect words with real-life changes.
Keep the science simple –
- Explain that the Earth moves around the sun, and that sunlight and temperatures change through the year. You can say: “When we get more sun, it’s summer. When we get less sun, it’s winter.”
Create a seasonal corner –
- Collect items like leaves, pinecones, flowers, or drawings that match the current season. Swap them out when the season changes so children can see and touch the changes for themselves.
Sing and play –
- Add songs, rhymes, or dress-up play. Children can pretend to be “winter” with a scarf and hat or “summer” with sunglasses and a sunhat.
Link to holidays –
- Point out how holidays often connect to the seasons, like Easter in spring or Christmas in winter.

Using activities together with pictures and worksheets helps children see how nature changes throughout the year, why we wear different clothes, and which activities belong to each season. This combination makes the lesson playful, memorable, and easy to connect to everyday life.
