Provide pictures of various types of clouds such as white, puffy ones and gray clouds on an overcast day. Talk about the clouds. Say, “Before it rains, the sky and the clouds sometimes look gray.” Or, “If the clouds look like this, it will probably stay sunny.” Have the children go outside or look out the windows and predict what they think the weather will be by looking at the clouds. “Will it rain or stay sunny today? Why do you think that?"
