The Four Seasons

Start with something students can look at or think about: a photo, a short video, a jar on the windowsill, or a question like "what do you already know about seasons?" Then let them work through the first item together as a class, then finish the rest independently or with a partner, keeping a word bank or anchor chart in view so the vocabulary stays available. When you review, ask students how they knew, and let them point to the part of the diagram or reading that told them. These seasons worksheets work well as a lead in before an investigation, as a way to capture what students noticed afterward, or as review before an assessment.

These seasons worksheets for 1st grade give students a clear, visual way to work through one of the big ideas in weather and seasons. Students label diagrams, sort and classify examples, read short explanations, and answer questions that ask them to say why, not just what. Each page keeps the science vocabulary front and center so students leave with the words they need to talk about seasons accurately. Working through seasons on paper gives 1st grade students something concrete to hold onto before, during, or after the hands on part of a lesson.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade weather and seasons, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with seasons. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Four pictures, one per season, matched to the season names, followed by a drawing box. The pictures are the familiar cues: a snowman, a beach ball, autumn leaves and a spring flower.

This is a matching task with the words provided. Names of Seasons asks the child to write each name and then answer which season is hottest, so it expects recall rather than recognition.

The child draws their favorite thing to do in summer. It connects the abstract season names to their own year, which is what makes them stick.

First graders learn to identify the four seasons, describe the weather and natural changes typical of each, and understand that seasons repeat in a predictable pattern. They explore how animals, plants, and people respond to seasonal changes, building connections across life science and earth science.

The four seasons are introduced in early elementary school and revisited in Grade 1 with more detail and scientific vocabulary. Many teachers connect seasons to calendar math, literature like season-themed picture books, and art activities.

Step outside together and observe what season it looks like right now, then complete the related section of the worksheet. Ask your child to describe what the same spot might look like in a different season. Comparing photos of the same tree across different times of year makes seasonal change visible.

10 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
