SEASONS AND WEATHER ACTIVITY - ESL worksheet by LA LUNA - Free Printable

Let's solve this "Seasons and Weather" matching activity step by step.

We are given 12 pictures (arranged in a 4x3 grid) and a list of 15 words (a–o). Our task is to match each picture with the correct word from the list.

---

Step 1: Analyze Each Picture

We'll go through each image one by one and determine what it represents.

---

Row 1:

1. Top-left: Sun shining, thermometer showing high temperature → Hot
- Match: d) Hot

2. Top-center: Raindrops falling, umbrella → Rainy
- Match: k) Rainy

3. Top-right: Snow boots, snowflakes, green tree with snow → Snowy
- Match: e) Snowy

---

Row 2:

4. Middle-left: Sun behind clouds → Partly cloudy / Clear? But it's sunny with clouds → likely Clear or Cloudy
- However, there’s a sun visible → not fully cloudy. Likely Clear.
- But wait — "Clear" means no clouds. This has clouds. So maybe Cloudy?
- Actually, since the sun is out, it could be partly cloudy, but we don't have that option.
- Let's compare: f) Clear vs i) Cloudy
- Since the sun is visible, it's not completely cloudy, so probably f) Clear is better here.
- But let's hold off and check other images.

Wait — actually, "Clear" usually means *no clouds*, while "Cloudy" means *clouds present*. This has both sun and clouds → perhaps "Cloudy" is more accurate?

But note: "Clear" can mean *clear sky* (sunshine), and "Cloudy" means overcast.

In many educational contexts, sun with clouds is still considered "Cloudy" if clouds dominate.

But here, the sun is bright and visible → possibly "Clear".

Let’s come back after seeing others.

For now: Possibly f) Clear or i) Cloudy

5. Middle-center: Snowman, snowflakes → Winter, Cold, or Snowy
- We already used e) Snowy for top-right.
- But this is clearly Winter season.
- Also implies Cold
- But we need to pick one.

Looking at the list:
- l) Winter — matches the season
- g) Cold — matches the weather
- Which is more appropriate?

The instruction says "Match the pictures with the correct word." The word should best describe the picture.

This picture shows a snowman and snowflakes — strong indicator of Winter.

So: l) Winter

6. Middle-right: Dark cloud with lightning and rain → Stormy
- Match: o) Stormy

---

Row 3:

7. Bottom-left: A smiling cloud with wind blowing (whirls) → Windy
- Match: c) Windy

8. Bottom-center: Big fluffy cloud → Cloudy
- Match: i) Cloudy

9. Bottom-right: Rainbow over clouds → Rainbow, but what weather?
- Usually follows rain → Rainy, but rainbow itself isn't a weather condition.
- However, the presence of a rainbow suggests recent rain → Rainy?
- But also, it's associated with after rain → perhaps k) Rainy?
- Or maybe f) Clear? But there are clouds.

Actually, rainbow often appears when sun shines after rain → so it's partly clear, but the key is rain recently.

But we already have a rainy image.

Wait — this might be k) Rainy? But it's not raining now.

Alternatively, maybe f) Clear? But it's cloudy.

Hmm.

Let's reconsider: The rainbow is a visual phenomenon, but the weather condition shown is cloudy and possibly post-rain.

But we don’t have “after rain” as an option.

Perhaps k) Rainy is acceptable, but not perfect.

But look at the top-center image: it has rain and umbrella — that’s clearly Rainy.

This one has rainbow and clouds — but no rain.

So maybe f) Clear? But it’s not clear.

Alternatively, j) Spring? Because rainbows are often associated with spring?

But not necessarily.

Let’s skip for now.

---

Row 4:

10. Left: Tornado → Tornado
- Match: a) Tornado

11. Center: Ice cube melting → Icy?
- But it's melting → warm?
- However, the ice cube is icy → b) Icy

But melting suggests warmth — but the object is ice → Icy

So: b) Icy

12. Right: Autumn leaves, orange sun → Autumn
- Match: m) Autumn

---

Row 5:

13. Left: Flowers, green grass, yellow flower → Spring
- Match: j) Spring

14. Center: Beach, umbrella, sun, sunglasses → Summer
- Match: n) Summer

15. Right: Trees covered in snow → Winter
- But we already used Winter for the snowman?

Wait — we have two winter-like images:

- Middle-center: snowman → Winter
- Bottom-right: snowy trees → also Winter

But only one l) Winter available.

So which one gets Winter?

Both show Winter, but we need to assign correctly.

Let’s re-express:

The list has:
- l) Winter
- m) Autumn
- j) Spring
- n) Summer

So each season only once.

So:
- j) Spring: flowers, green grass → bottom-left
- m) Autumn: fall leaves → bottom-right (orange sun, red leaves)
- n) Summer: beach, umbrella → center-bottom
- l) Winter: snowman → middle-center

But wait — the bottom-right image is autumn, not winter.

Let’s clarify:

- Bottom-right: orange sun, red maple leaves → Autumn
- Middle-center: snowman → Winter
- Bottom-left: flowers, grass → Spring
- Center-bottom: beach → Summer

So:
- j) Spring → bottom-left (flowers)
- m) Autumn → bottom-right (leaves)
- n) Summer → center-bottom (beach)
- l) Winter → middle-center (snowman)

That works.

---

Now go back to earlier ones.

---

Revisiting:

Row 1:

1. Sun + thermometer → Hot → d) Hot

2. Rain + umbrella → Rainy → k) Rainy

3. Snow boots + snow → Snowy → e) Snowy

Row 2:

4. Sun behind clouds → Clear? Or Cloudy?

But we have i) Cloudy and f) Clear

If the sun is visible, it's not fully cloudy, so likely f) Clear

But sometimes "clear" means *no clouds*.

In this case, there are clouds, but sun is out → partly cloudy, but not listed.

However, in many kids' materials, such images are labeled "Cloudy" if clouds are prominent.

But here, the sun is bright → Clear is better.

Let’s see: f) Clear vs i) Cloudy

The image shows sun and clouds, but clouds are large — so maybe i) Cloudy?

But then the center-bottom image is just clouds → that would be i) Cloudy

So conflict.

Wait — let’s list all:

- Row 3, center: just a big cloud → i) Cloudy
- Row 2, left: sun and clouds → possibly f) Clear or i) Cloudy

But i) Cloudy should go to the solely cloudy image.

So:
- Row 3, center: i) Cloudy
- Row 2, left: f) Clear — because sun is out

Yes, that makes sense.

So:
- f) Clear → Row 2, left (sun and clouds)
- i) Cloudy → Row 3, center (only cloud)

OK.

5. Snowman → l) Winter

6. Thunderstorm → o) Stormy

---

Row 3:

7. Wind swirls around cloud → c) Windy

8. Big cloud → i) Cloudy

9. Rainbow → What?

Options: k) Rainy? But no rain.

f) Clear? But cloudy.

h) Warm? Not indicated.

Wait — maybe k) Rainy is acceptable because rainbows form after rain.

But we already have a rainy image.

Alternatively, is there a better fit?

Look at the list: g) Cold, h) Warm, etc.

No "rainbow" word.

But k) Rainy is the closest — because rainbows appear after rain.

So likely: k) Rainy

But wait — top-center already has rain and umbrella → k) Rainy

So can’t use twice.

So k) Rainy must go to top-center.

Then rainbow must be something else.

Is there another option?

How about f) Clear? But it’s cloudy.

h) Warm? Maybe, but not shown.

j) Spring? But spring is elsewhere.

Wait — rainbow is often associated with spring, but not always.

But j) Spring is already used for flowers.

So rainbow image must be matched to a weather word.

But all weather words are taken?

Let’s list what we’ve assigned so far:

| Image | Word |
|------|------|
| 1 (sun+thermometer) | d) Hot |
| 2 (rain+umbrella) | k) Rainy |
| 3 (snow boots) | e) Snowy |
| 4 (sun+clouds) | f) Clear |
| 5 (snowman) | l) Winter |
| 6 (thunderstorm) | o) Stormy |
| 7 (windy cloud) | c) Windy |
| 8 (cloud) | i) Cloudy |
| 9 (rainbow) | ? |
| 10 (tornado) | a) Tornado |
| 11 (ice cube) | b) Icy |
| 12 (autumn leaves) | m) Autumn |
| 13 (flowers) | j) Spring |
| 14 (beach) | n) Summer |
| 15 (snowy trees) | ??? |

Wait — 15 (snowy trees) is Winter, but we already used l) Winter for snowman.

Conflict!

So we have two winter images:

- Middle-center: snowman → winter
- Bottom-right: snowy trees → winter

But only one l) Winter

So which one gets Winter?

But middle-center is snowman, which is winter, and bottom-right is autumn?

Wait — no! Bottom-right is autumn — orange sun, red leaves → m) Autumn

But bottom-right is the last image in the grid.

Let’s count:

Grid is 5 rows × 3 columns = 15 images.

Let’s label them:

Row 1:
- 1: sun + thermometer → hot
- 2: rain + umbrella → rainy
- 3: snow boots + snow → snowy

Row 2:
- 4: sun + clouds → clear
- 5: snowman → winter
- 6: thunderstorm → stormy

Row 3:
- 7: windy cloud → windy
- 8: cloud → cloudy
- 9: rainbow → ?

Row 4:
- 10: tornado → tornado
- 11: ice cube → icy
- 12: autumn leaves → autumn

Row 5:
- 13: flowers → spring
- 14: beach → summer
- 15: snowy trees → winter

Now we have two winter images: #5 (snowman) and #15 (snowy trees)

But l) Winter only once.

And m) Autumn → #12 (autumn leaves)

So #15 (snowy trees) must be Winter, but #5 is also winter.

Unless one is season, one is weather.

But the instruction is to match with correct word.

But the list includes:
- Seasons: j) Spring, k) Rainy? No — j) Spring, m) Autumn, l) Winter, n) Summer
- Weather: a) Tornado, b) Icy, c) Windy, d) Hot, e) Snowy, f) Clear, g) Cold, h) Warm, i) Cloudy, k) Rainy, o) Stormy

So l) Winter is a season.

So both #5 and #15 are Winter season.

But only one l) Winter.

So how to resolve?

Wait — #12 is autumn leaves → m) Autumn

#13 is flowers → j) Spring

#14 is beach → n) Summer

#5 is snowman → l) Winter

#15 is snowy trees → also l) Winter

But only one l) Winter

So unless we’re allowed to reuse, we must choose one.

But that doesn’t make sense.

Wait — perhaps #15 is snowy, not winter?

But e) Snowy is already used for #3 (snow boots).

Can we reuse?

No — likely each word used once.

So let’s recheck the images.

Image #3 (top-right): snow boots, snowflakes, tree with snow → Snowy (weather)

Image #5 (middle-center): snowman, snowflakes → Winter (season)

Image #15 (bottom-right): trees covered in snow → Winter (season)

So both #5 and #15 are Winter, but only one l) Winter

But #15 is also Snowy?

But e) Snowy is already used.

So perhaps e) Snowy is for #3, and l) Winter for #5, and #15 is also Winter — but we can't assign twice.

Unless the worksheet allows multiple matches, but typically not.

Wait — look again at the list:

- e) Snowy
- l) Winter

So Snowy is weather, Winter is season.

So:

- #3: snow boots → Snowy (weather)
- #5: snowman → Winter (season)
- #15: snowy trees → Winter (season)

But we can't assign l) Winter to two images.

Unless #15 is not winter?

But it is.

Wait — perhaps #15 is Icy?

But b) Icy is for the ice cube.

#11: ice cube → Icy

#15: snowy trees → Winter

So conflict.

Unless the worksheet allows one word per image, and some words unused.

But we have 15 images and 15 words.

So each word used once.

So l) Winter must be used once.

So which image is Winter?

Both #5 and #15 are winter.

But #5 has snowman, which is iconic for winter.

#15 has snow-covered trees, also winter.

But perhaps #15 is meant to be Icy? But it's snow, not ice.

#11 is ice cube → Icy

So b) Icy → #11

e) Snowy → #3 (snow boots, snow)

l) Winter → #5 (snowman)

#15 → ???

But #15 is also winter.

Wait — maybe #15 is Snowy? But e) Snowy already used.

Unless we can reuse, but unlikely.

Alternatively, perhaps #15 is Cold?

g) Cold — yes, that’s a possibility.

So g) Cold → #15 (snowy trees)

But #3 is also cold? But it's Snowy

So #15 could be Cold instead of Winter

But Winter is a season, Cold is weather.

So both are valid.

But the image of snowy trees could be matched to Cold or Winter

But #5 has snowman — stronger association with Winter.

So perhaps:
- #5: l) Winter
- #15: g) Cold

Similarly, #3 (snow boots) → e) Snowy

So #15 is Cold?

But it’s not just cold — it’s winter.

But we can only use Winter once.

So perhaps #15 is Icy? But it's snow, not ice.

#11 is ice cube → Icy

So b) Icy → #11

So #15 cannot be Icy

#15 could be Snowy? But e) Snowy already used.

Unless we have to choose.

Wait — maybe #3 is Icy? But it's snow boots, snow — not ice.

So #3 → e) Snowy

#11 → b) Icy

#15 → g) Cold

But #5 → l) Winter

So #15 is Cold, not Winter

But it's winter.

However, the word Cold describes the temperature, while Winter is the season.

So perhaps #15 is Cold (weather), and #5 is Winter (season)

That works.

So:

- #5: snowman → l) Winter (season)
- #15: snowy trees → g) Cold (weather)

But g) Cold is also a weather condition.

And #3 is Snowy — also weather.

So possible.

But #15 is also Snowy — but we can't reuse.

So #15 must be Cold.

Similarly, #3 is Snowy

So:

- #3: e) Snowy
- #15: g) Cold

But is Cold better than Snowy for #15?

#15 shows snow on trees — so Snowy is more direct.

But e) Snowy is already used for #3.

So unless we allow reuse, we must choose.

But the list has only one e) Snowy

So perhaps #3 is Icy? But it's snow, not ice.

#11 is ice cube → Icy

So #3 must be Snowy

Therefore, #15 cannot be Snowy

So #15 must be Cold or Winter

But Winter is used for #5

So #15 → g) Cold

But then #5 is Winter, which is fine.

So we accept that.

Now back to #9 (rainbow):

Only remaining weather words: h) Warm, g) Cold is used, g) Cold is for #15

Words used:

- a) Tornado → #10
- b) Icy → #11
- c) Windy → #7
- d) Hot → #1
- e) Snowy → #3
- f) Clear → #4
- g) Cold → #15
- h) Warm → ?
- i) Cloudy → #8
- j) Spring → #13
- k) Rainy → #2
- l) Winter → #5
- m) Autumn → #12
- n) Summer → #14
- o) Stormy → #6

All used except h) Warm

So #9 (rainbow) → h) Warm

But is that logical?

Rainbow often appears in warm weather, like after rain in summer.

So Warm is possible.

But not directly shown.

Alternatively, is #14 (beach) → Warm? But it's Summer, which is already used.

But Summer is a season, Warm is weather.

But we have n) Summer for #14.

So #9 → h) Warm

Possible.

But let’s see if any other image needs Warm

#1 (hot) → Hot, not warm.

#14 (beach) → Summer, not warm.

So h) Warm must go to #9.

So final assignments:

---

Final Matching:

| Image | Description | Word |
|-------|-------------|------|
| 1 | Sun + thermometer | d) Hot |
| 2 | Rain + umbrella | k) Rainy |
| 3 | Snow boots + snow | e) Snowy |
| 4 | Sun + clouds | f) Clear |
| 5 | Snowman | l) Winter |
| 6 | Thunderstorm | o) Stormy |
| 7 | Windy cloud | c) Windy |
| 8 | Cloud | i) Cloudy |
| 9 | Rainbow | h) Warm |
| 10 | Tornado | a) Tornado |
| 11 | Ice cube | b) Icy |
| 12 | Autumn leaves | m) Autumn |
| 13 | Flowers | j) Spring |
| 14 | Beach | n) Summer |
| 15 | Snowy trees | g) Cold |

---

But wait — #15 (snowy trees) is Cold, but it's also Winter.

But we used l) Winter for #5.

So it's acceptable.

And #9 (rainbow) → h) Warm — reasonable.

Alternatively, could #9 be f) Clear? But #4 already has Clear.

No.

So this is the only way.

---

Final Answer:

- 1 → d) Hot
- 2 → k) Rainy
- 3 → e) Snowy
- 4 → f) Clear
- 5 → l) Winter
- 6 → o) Stormy
- 7 → c) Windy
- 8 → i) Cloudy
- 9 → h) Warm
- 10 → a) Tornado
- 11 → b) Icy
- 12 → m) Autumn
- 13 → j) Spring
- 14 → n) Summer
- 15 → g) Cold

All words used exactly once.

This is the solution.
