Weather and clothes matching - ESL worksheet by coyote.chus - Free Printable

Let’s go through the matching task step by step.

We have weather conditions on the left and clothing/equipment on the right. We need to match each weather symbol with the most suitable gear for that weather.

---

1. Cloudy
→ Not raining, not sunny — just cloudy.
→ Best items: Overcoat (for mild chill), Sunglasses (if sun peeks out), Scarf (for cool air).
✔ Match: Overcoat, Sunglasses, Scarf

2. Rainy
→ Rain is falling. Need protection from water.
→ Best items: Anorak (waterproof jacket), Umbrella, Raincoat, Wellington Boots (for wet ground).
✔ Match: Anorak, Umbrella, Raincoat, Wellington Boots

3. Snowy
→ Cold + snow. Need warmth and snow gear.
→ Best items: Gloves, Scarf, Hat, Skis, Ski Sticks, Smoked Glasses (for snow glare).
✔ Match: Gloves, Scarf, Hat, Skis, Ski Sticks, Smoked Glasses

4. Sunny
→ Bright sun. Need sun protection.
→ Best items: Sunglasses, Sunshade, Flip-flops, Towel, Bikini (for beach/swim), maybe a light raincoat if sudden shower? But primarily sun gear.
✔ Match: Sunglasses, Sunshade, Flip-flops, Towel, Bikini

5. Foggy
→ Low visibility. Need to stay warm and visible.
→ Best items: Scarf, Hat, Gloves, Raincoat (fog often comes with dampness), maybe torch (to see better).
✔ Match: Scarf, Hat, Gloves, Raincoat, Torch

6. Stormy
→ Thunder, lightning, heavy rain. Stay safe and dry.
→ Best items: Raincoat, Umbrella (but caution in storms!), Wellington Boots, maybe torch if power goes out.
✔ Match: Raincoat, Umbrella, Wellington Boots, Torch

7. Windy
→ Strong wind. Need to stay warm and hold onto things.
→ Best items: Scarf (to cover face), Overcoat (windproof), Walking Stick (for balance), maybe hat (but might blow away — so secure one).
✔ Match: Scarf, Overcoat, Walking Stick

Now let’s assign each weather to its correct equipment group based on the worksheet layout.

Looking at the worksheet structure:

- Row 1: Cloudy → Overcoat, Sunglasses, Scarf
- Row 2: Rainy → Anorak, Ski Sticks, Smoked Glasses, Skis, Gloves → Wait, this doesn’t fit! Ski gear is for snow, not rain. Let’s recheck.

Actually, looking again — the worksheet has pre-grouped equipment per row. So we must match each weather to the equipment listed in the same horizontal row? No — the instruction says “Match each symbol with the suitable equipment” — meaning draw lines or pair them correctly across the whole page.

But since it’s a matching exercise, we should pair each weather with the BEST set of equipment from the entire right column.

However, looking at the image layout, it seems each weather row is meant to be matched with the equipment block directly to its right — but that would make some mismatches (like snowy next to umbrella/raincoat).

Wait — actually, no. The worksheet is designed so that you match each weather icon with the appropriate items from the full list on the right. The items are scattered, and you draw lines.

So let’s do proper matching:

✔ Cloudy → Overcoat, Sunglasses, Scarf
✔ Rainy → Anorak, Umbrella, Raincoat, Wellington Boots
✔ Snowy → Gloves, Scarf, Hat, Skis, Ski Sticks, Smoked Glasses
✔ Sunny → Sunglasses, Sunshade, Flip-flops, Towel, Bikini
✔ Foggy → Scarf, Hat, Gloves, Raincoat, Torch
✔ Stormy → Raincoat, Umbrella, Wellington Boots, Torch
✔ Windy → Scarf, Overcoat, Walking Stick

But note: Some items appear in multiple categories — that’s okay, as long as they’re suitable.

Now, to present the final answer clearly as pairs:

Final Answer:
Cloudy — Overcoat, Sunglasses, Scarf
Rainy — Anorak, Umbrella, Raincoat, Wellington Boots
Snowy — Gloves, Scarf, Hat, Skis, Ski Sticks, Smoked Glasses
Sunny — Sunglasses, Sunshade, Flip-flops, Towel, Bikini
Foggy — Scarf, Hat, Gloves, Raincoat, Torch
Stormy — Raincoat, Umbrella, Wellington Boots, Torch
Windy — Scarf, Overcoat, Walking Stick
