Seasons around the world

Ages 3 to 5 Read and do together · about 15 minutes

Read together

Some places have snow in winter. Some places are warm all year.

In the Philippines there is a dry season and a wet season.

Do it

1. Look at pictures of the same kind of place in different seasons: a tree in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
2. Talk about what people wear and eat in each season. What is the weather like where we live?
3. Find a place in the Philippines or another warm country, and talk about the wet and dry seasons.
4. Say: “When it is winter in the north, it is summer in the south.”

Talk about it

• Which season do you like?
• What do we do in the rain?

For the grown-up

Seasons happen because the Earth is tilted as it goes around the sun. Places near the equator, such as the Philippines, are warm all year and have a wet and a dry season instead of four seasons. When it is winter in the northern half of the world, it is summer in the southern half.
