English for kids : Whether the weather

To teach students to talk about weather I advise you to use these short poems. It's better to start with this  fun tongue twister. Don't forget to explain your pupils the meanings of words whether-weather :

Whether the weather be fine,

Or whether the weather be not,

Whether the weather be cold,

Or whether the weather be hot,

We’ll weather the weather

Whatever the weather

Whether we like it or not.

I think, this short poem is also good for talking about weather.

What makes weather?
Do you know?
What makes rain,
and sleet,
and snow?

What makes summer warm and breezy?
What makes winter cold and sneezy?
What makes autumn crisp and keen?
What makes spring so warm and green?

I know, I know
what makes weather!
Lots of things that work together:
Wind and water,
earth’s rotation,
bring the seasons
to each nation.
So now we all know
what makes weather-
lots of things that
work together!
