Quel temps fait-il? online activity - Free Printable

I'll solve this matching exercise by connecting each weather picture on the left with its correct French phrase on the right.

First, I need to understand what each French phrase means:

- "Il pleut." = It is raining.
- "Il neige." = It is snowing.
- "Il fait du soleil." = It is sunny.
- "Il fait beau." = It is nice (good weather).
- "Il fait froid." = It is cold.
- "Il fait du vent." = It is windy.
- "Il fait chaud." = It is hot.
- "Il fait mauvais." = It is bad (weather).

Now, I'll match each picture with its corresponding phrase based on the visual cues.

1. The first picture shows a bright sun - this matches with "Il fait du soleil." (It is sunny).

2. The second picture shows a thermometer with snowflakes and a low temperature - this matches with "Il fait froid." (It is cold).

3. The third picture shows a thermometer with a high temperature and sun - this matches with "Il fait chaud." (It is hot).

4. The fourth picture shows rain falling from a cloud with an umbrella - this matches with "Il pleut." (It is raining).

5. The fifth picture shows a shivering face - this matches with "Il fait froid." (It is cold). Wait, I already used "Il fait froid" for the second picture. Let me reconsider.

Actually, looking more carefully at the second picture, it's showing snow (snowflakes) along with the thermometer, so it should be "Il neige." (It is snowing). The fifth picture with the shivering face represents cold, so that should be "Il fait froid."

6. The sixth picture shows snow falling from a cloud - this matches with "Il neige." (It is snowing).

7. The seventh picture shows a cloud blowing wind - this matches with "Il fait du vent." (It is windy).

8. The eighth picture shows a happy face giving a thumbs up - this matches with "Il fait beau." (It is nice/good weather).

Let me correct my matches:

- Picture 1 (sun): "Il fait du soleil."
- Picture 2 (thermometer with snow): "Il neige."
- Picture 3 (thermometer with sun): "Il fait chaud."
- Picture 4 (rain with umbrella): "Il pleut."
- Picture 5 (shivering face): "Il fait froid."
- Picture 6 (snow falling): "Il neige." Wait, I have two snow pictures? Let me check again.

Looking at picture 6 more carefully, it appears to show snow falling from a cloud, which would be "Il neige." But I already assigned "Il neige." to picture 2. This suggests I might have misinterpreted picture 2.

Actually, picture 2 shows a thermometer with snowflakes around it, indicating cold weather with snow, so "Il neige." is correct for that. Picture 6 also shows snow falling, which is also "Il neige." But we can't have two matches for the same phrase.

Let me re-examine all pictures and phrases:

Picture 1: Sun - "Il fait du soleil."
Picture 2: Thermometer with snowflakes - "Il fait froid." (It is cold)
Picture 3: Thermometer with sun - "Il fait chaud." (It is hot)
Picture 4: Rain with umbrella - "Il pleut." (It is raining)
Picture 5: Shivering face - "Il fait mauvais." (It is bad weather) - this could represent unpleasant cold weather
Picture 6: Snow falling - "Il neige." (It is snowing)
Picture 7: Windy cloud - "Il fait du vent." (It is windy)
Picture 8: Happy face with thumbs up - "Il fait beau." (It is nice weather)

This seems to be the correct matching:

1. Sun → "Il fait du soleil."
2. Thermometer with snowflakes → "Il fait froid."
3. Thermometer with sun → "Il fait chaud."
4. Rain with umbrella → "Il pleut."
5. Shivering face → "Il fait mauvais." (representing bad/unpleasant weather)
6. Snow falling → "Il neige."
7. Windy cloud → "Il fait du vent."
8. Happy face → "Il fait beau."

This uses all eight phrases exactly once, which is what we need for a proper matching exercise.

The solution is:
- Picture 1 (sun) matches with "Il fait du soleil."
- Picture 2 (thermometer with snowflakes) matches with "Il fait froid."
- Picture 3 (thermometer with sun) matches with "Il fait chaud."
- Picture 4 (rain with umbrella) matches with "Il pleut."
- Picture 5 (shivering face) matches with "Il fait mauvais."
- Picture 6 (snow falling) matches with "Il neige."
- Picture 7 (windy cloud) matches with "Il fait du vent."
- Picture 8 (happy face) matches with "Il fait beau."
