Chinese–English Weather & Seasons Flashcards
Forty-two weather and season words, from sunny and drizzle to hail and the winter solstice, each on three cards in Chinese, pinyin and English. The middle card shows a child dressed for the weather, so the deck doubles as a what-to-wear chart for getting ready in the morning.

This deck teaches weather words in two languages. Each of the 42 words is printed in simplified Chinese characters with tone-marked pinyin, and the English sits underneath: sunny, overcast, drizzle, thunderstorm, sleet, frost and more.
Four groups
Ten cards cover sun, cloud, wind and fog, including smog and dust. Ten cover rain and storms, from light rain to typhoon and tornado. Ten cover snow and ice, such as hail, freezing rain and a cold wave. The last 12 are about the seasons: the four seasons themselves, plus eight dates from the traditional Chinese calendar, the start of each season and the two equinoxes and solstices. The cards use “autumn” rather than “fall.”
Three cards for each word
Every word comes three times, marked with one, two or three stars. The one-star card shows the weather icon and the name. The two-star card adds a child dressed for that weather and a short list of what to wear, like a raincoat, umbrella and waterproof boots for heavy rain. The three-star card gives a typical temperature range, one sentence on why the weather happens and a safety tip. The cover gives ages 3–8 for the set, and page 2 matches the three levels to ages 3–5, 5–7 and 7–8.
Pages for every day
The worksheets ask kids to match pictures to Chinese and English names, trace and write the words, number the seasons in order and pair each weather with an outfit. The everyday pages turn it into a routine: a weekly weather log, an outfit diary that asks whether you were too cold or too hot, a seasons diary, and a weather report to fill in and read aloud like a TV forecaster.
The games include bingo called with the one-star cards, a memory game, a board game where you name each weather and one thing to wear, a paper-clip spinner that picks the weather for a dress-up challenge, and a puzzle for each season.
Printing
Cards print four to a page. The guide suggests cardstock for the cards, plain paper for the rest, and printing at actual size so the cards come out at 3.5 x 5 inches. The cards have pale blue and green backgrounds and full-color icons, so a color printer works best.
Questions
- Are the temperatures in Fahrenheit?
- The three-star cards give each temperature range in both °C and °F. The weekly weather log page has a °C column only.
- Is the Chinese simplified or traditional?
- Simplified characters, with tone-marked pinyin under each word. The English is on every card too.
