Pre-Listening Activities
Before I watch videos with my students, we predict what they will hear in the video. To do this, you can tell students the general topic is dressing for the weather and ask questions such as ¿Qué te pones en un día soleado? ¿Cuándo usas un paraguas? ¿Te gusta la nieve? ¿Qué te pones cuando hace frío?
Learn Spanish Weather Vocabulary
With my students, I usually watch videos all the way through once before doing activities. If you are assigning the video for remote learning, encourage students to watch once before trying answer the questions. Our easy Spanish conversations videos are short and comprehensible. Students will understand a lot the first time. In addition, watching the whole video provides important context that helps them understand when they watch a second time.
You can watch the video below or on YouTube: Spanish Weather and Clothes| Easy Spanish Conversations | El clima.

Many of the words will be familiar, but these words are specific Spanish weather vocabulary. You may want to do pre-viewing activities to teach these words if your students haven’t heard them before.

Comprehension Activities for Spanish Weather Video
First, learners match vocabulary words to pictures. Students may be able to do this without watching the video again. If so, when you watch again, they can check answers or fill in any they didn’t answer.
Next, learners identify which speaker said the phrase.
Finally, there are a few additional questions about the video content and personal questions related to weather.
We hope this video and the questions are useful in class, for families, and for independent learners. We appreciate your feedback, so let us know how they work for you in the comments below.
