Weather Songs for Circle Time

What’s the Weather? and What’s the Weather Like Today? – Jbrary

We’ll start with two amazing circle time songs from Jbrary that are perfect weather songs for preschool or kindergarten! The first is short, set to a familiar tune, and has simple motions, all of which will keep your kids engaged! The second weather song is perfect to put right after calendar time, as you use the current day of the week as part of the song.

What’s the Weather? – Nancy Kopman

This short little song is great for introducing all kinds of weather words, like “raining”, “snowing”, “cold”, “hot”, “sunny”, “windy”, “cloudy”, “stormy” and “grey.”

Check out the Weather! – Harry Kindergarten Music

This grooving weather song for kids is super engaging! It introduces some fun weather vocabulary like temperature and precipitation. It also spells out common weather terms, reinforcing letters and word recognition.

Weather Song for Kids – The Singing Walrus

I love this children’s weather song! It’s calming and sweet and I find myself wanting to listen to it more than once. It provides a great opportunity to incorporate social/emotional skills and talk about how the weather makes you feel. We sometimes associate rain with sadness, but as this song says, you can be happy in all kinds of weather!

Umbrellas can be pretty magical on a rainy day! Laurie Berkner gets us grooving with a fun reggae beat. The tempo changes and increases throughout the song, which keeps it super engaging!

Keeping a steady beat is a GREAT skill, and for lots of kids, can be harder than it seems! Jbrary encourages lots of gross motor movement in this song, having kids use their body to pat, clap, and stomp along to a rainstorm.

Snow and Snowflake Songs for Preschool

Snowflake, Snowflake in the Sky by Jbrary

A simple snowflake song! Gentle actions set to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Putting new lyrics to a familiar tune is one of the best ways to keep a child’s attention. There is instant recognition and buy-in to the tune, making it easy and fun to learn the new words.

Little Snowflake by Super Simple Songs

I have to admit that I watch this darling video all the way through every time I come across it, even when I’m by myself! It’s a perfect weather song for when it’s snowing outside.

Snowflakes Snowflakes by The Kiboomers

Here’s another sweet snowflake song to add to the “calming music” list. The words are printed on the screen which encourages word recognition, and some early readers will even be able to follow along! The song is set to the familiar “ABC” melody, so your kids will be singing along in no time.
