About these seasons worksheets

Winter, spring, summer and fall come in the same order every year. That repeating pattern is one of the first big patterns in nature that kindergarteners can notice for themselves: the weather gets colder or warmer, trees lose and grow leaves, and people change what they wear and do.

These seasons worksheets show one tree changing through the year: bare with snow in winter, in flower in spring, full of green leaves in summer and dropping its leaves in fall. Children color the tree, put the seasons in order with a pencil or with scissors and glue, sort clothes and activities by season, listen to clues about what changes, and draw a real tree four times.

Seasons look different in different places. In some towns it snows every winter; in others it never does. The pages use the common signs of each season, and the tips below help you talk about the seasons where you live. Every page with one right answer has an answer key on page 2.

How to use them

  1. Start with the four seasons chart. Ask, "What season is it now? How do you know?"
  2. Use the seasons in order pages to practice the order. The cut and paste page glues the seasons in a circle, so children see that winter comes again. Say the seasons together, like a chant.
  3. For the sorts, name each picture together first, then let children decide which box it goes in.
  4. Read the clues on the what changes pages aloud, one at a time.
  5. Take the trees in four seasons page outside. Pick one real tree and draw it again each season.
  6. Finish with my favorite season so each child can share an opinion with a drawing and a sentence.

Teaching tips

  • Fall is also called autumn. Use both words so children recognize them.
  • Some activities fit more than one season. Accept any answer a child can explain; the key shows one good answer.
  • If it does not snow where you live, talk about how winter is the coldest season even without snow.
  • Keep a seasons wall: add a leaf, a flower or a photo each month and watch the pattern build.
  • Pre-readers can do every page from the pictures. The short words under each picture are for the adult.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What are the four seasons in order?

Winter, spring, summer and fall (also called autumn). Then winter comes again, so the seasons repeat in a circle every year.

What do kindergarteners learn about seasons?

They learn the names and order of the seasons and notice how the weather, plants, animals and what people wear and do change from one season to the next.

Do I need scissors for the seasons worksheets?

Only for the cut and paste page. Every other page works with just a pencil: children write each picture's number in the right box or circle the answer.
