French Weather Vocabulary worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are matching weather pictures to the correct French words from the word bank. The phrase “Il fait ___” means “It is ___” (describing the weather). We need to pick the right word for each picture.

---

First row:

1. ❄️ + thermometer with blue (cold) → This means it’s cold.
Word: froid

2. ☀️ + thermometer with blue (cool, not hot) → This means it’s cool or mild.
Word: frais

3. 😎☀️ + thermometer with red (hot) → This means it’s hot.
Word: chaud

---

Second row:

4. 🌞🌳 + 👍 → Nice sunny day, good weather.
Word: beau (as in “Il fait beau” = It’s nice out)

5. ⛈️🌪️ + 👎 → Bad stormy weather.
Word: mauvais (as in “Il fait mauvais” = It’s bad weather)

---

Third row (just icons, no “Il fait” — so we just name the weather):

6. ☀️ → Sun → soleil

7. 🌧️ → Rain → pleut (verb form, but used here as noun-like description)

Wait — actually, looking at the word bank, “pleut” is listed, and it’s the verb “it rains”. But since the blank is under a rain cloud, and other blanks use nouns/adjectives, let’s check context.

Actually, in French weather expressions:
- Il pleut = It is raining → so “pleut” fits under the rain cloud.
But note: some blanks say “Il fait ___”, others don’t. For the third row, there’s no “Il fait”, so we’re just labeling the icon.

Looking again:

The third row has 4 images, each with a blank underneath — no “Il fait”. So we’re naming the weather phenomenon.

So:

6. ☀️ → soleil

7. 🌧️ → pleut? Wait — “pleut” is a verb. But in the word bank, it’s included. Alternatively, maybe they want “pluie”? But “pluie” isn’t in the bank. “Pleut” is there.

Actually, in common usage for such worksheets, even if it’s a verb, they might accept “pleut” for the rain icon. But let’s see the pattern.

Wait — look at the fourth row:

8. ⚡️ → Thunderstorm → orage

9. 🍃 → Wind blowing leaves → vent

10. 🌫️ path → Foggy → brouillard

11. ⚡️💧 → Storm with snow and rain? Or hail? Looks like mixed precipitation with lightning → probably grêle (hail) or tempête? But “grêle” is hail, which is ice pellets. The image shows stars (snow?) and drops and lightning — could be “tempête” (storm).

But let’s go back to third row:

Image 7: Raindrops falling → that’s “il pleut”, so the word is pleut

Image 8: Snowflakes → neige

Image 9: Clouds → nuages

Wait — I think I miscounted rows.

Let me reorganize based on the layout:

There are 3 rows of images with blanks:

Row 1: 3 images → all have “Il fait ___”

Row 2: 2 images → both have “Il fait ___”

Row 3: 4 images → no “Il fait”, just blanks

Row 4: 4 images → no “Il fait”, just blanks

Total 13 blanks? Let’s count the blanks in the image:

Top row: 3 blanks (“Il fait ___”)

Middle row: 2 blanks (“Il fait ___”)

Then two more rows of 4 images each, each with a blank below → 8 blanks

Total: 3 + 2 + 8 = 13 blanks

Word bank has 16 words? Let’s list them:

BANQUE DE MOTS:

brouillard
pleut
froid

orage
mauvais
frais
nuages

neige
chaud
vent
tempête

beau
grêle
soleil

That’s 14 words? Let me count:

Column 1: brouillard, pleut, froid → 3
Column 2: orage, mauvais, frais, nuages → 4
Column 3: neige, chaud, vent, tempête → 4
Column 4: beau, grêle, soleil → 3
Total: 3+4+4+3=14 words

But we have 13 blanks? Maybe one word is extra? Or did I miscount blanks?

Looking back at the image description:

After the first two rows (with “Il fait”), there are two more rows of four images each, each with a blank line below — so 8 blanks.

Plus 3 + 2 = 5 from top → total 13 blanks.

But 14 words — so one word won’t be used? Or perhaps I missed something.

Wait — in the third row, the images are:

1. Sun → soleil
2. Rain cloud → pleut
3. Snow cloud → neige
4. Blue clouds → nuages

Fourth row:

5. Lightning cloud → orage
6. Windy tree → vent
7. Foggy path → brouillard
8. Storm with snow/rain/lightning → this might be “tempête” or “grêle”

“Grêle” is hail — which is ice balls. The image shows stars (which might represent snow or hail), drops, and lightning. In many contexts, that’s a thunderstorm with possible hail, so “tempête” (storm) might fit better.

But “grêle” is specifically hail. If the stars are meant to be hailstones, then “grêle”.

In French weather icons, sometimes stars mean snow, but here with lightning and rain, it’s likely a severe storm — so “tempête”.

But let’s assign based on most obvious matches.

Also, for the second row:

Image 4: Sunny landscape + thumbs up → “Il fait beau”

Image 5: Storm + thumbs down → “Il fait mauvais”

Now, let’s list all answers in order as they appear in the worksheet.

Order of blanks:

1. First image (snowflake + cold therm): Il fait froid

2. Second image (sun + cool therm): Il fait frais

3. Third image (sunglasses sun + hot therm): Il fait chaud

4. Fourth image (sunny scene + thumbs up): Il fait beau

5. Fifth image (storm + thumbs down): Il fait mauvais

Now the next eight images (no "Il fait"):

6. Sun icon → soleil

7. Rain cloud → pleut (since "il pleut" is the expression, and "pleut" is in the bank)

8. Snow cloud → neige

9. Blue clouds → nuages

10. Lightning cloud → orage

11. Windy tree → vent

12. Foggy path → brouillard

13. Storm with snow/rain/lightning → this is tricky. Options left: grêle, tempête

Words used so far: froid, frais, chaud, beau, mauvais, soleil, pleut, neige, nuages, orage, vent, brouillard → that's 12 words.

Remaining words: grêle, tempête

For image 13: dark cloud with lightning, snowflakes, and raindrops — this represents a severe storm, possibly with hail. In French, "tempête" means storm, and "grêle" means hail. Since there are multiple elements, "tempête" might be better. But if the stars are hailstones, then "grêle".

Looking at typical educational materials, when they show lightning with snow and rain, it's often labeled as "tempête". Also, "grêle" is usually shown with just hailstones.

Moreover, in the word bank, "tempête" is listed, and it's a common term for stormy weather.

So I'll go with tempête for the last one.

But let's confirm the count: we have 13 blanks, and 14 words — so one word is unused. Which one? "Grêle" might be the extra, or perhaps I made a mistake.

Another possibility: for the rain cloud, instead of "pleut", they might expect "pluie", but "pluie" isn't in the bank. "Pleut" is there, so it must be used.

Perhaps for the snow cloud, "neige" is correct.

Let me list all assignments:

Blank 1: froid
Blank 2: frais
Blank 3: chaud
Blank 4: beau
Blank 5: mauvais
Blank 6: soleil
Blank 7: pleut
Blank 8: neige
Blank 9: nuages
Blank 10: orage
Blank 11: vent
Blank 12: brouillard
Blank 13: tempête

Unused word: grêle

That makes sense — "grêle" (hail) is not depicted clearly; the last image is more of a general storm.

So final answers in order:

1. froid
2. frais
3. chaud
4. beau
5. mauvais
6. soleil
7. pleut
8. neige
9. nuages
10. orage
11. vent
12. brouillard
13. tempête

Now, to present the answer as per the worksheet layout.

The worksheet has:

First row: three blanks after "Il fait"

Second row: two blanks after "Il fait"

Then two rows of four images each with blanks below.

So writing the answers in sequence:

For the "Il fait" sentences:

- Il fait froid.
- Il fait frais.
- Il fait chaud.
- Il fait beau.
- Il fait mauvais.

Then for the standalone images:

Sun: soleil
Rain: pleut
Snow: neige
Clouds: nuages
Lightning: orage
Wind: vent
Fog: brouillard
Storm: tempête

Yes.

Final Answer:
froid, frais, chaud, beau, mauvais, soleil, pleut, neige, nuages, orage, vent, brouillard, tempête
