If-Then Weather Logic Worksheet – Think Like a Computer is a great introduction to both seasonal awareness and basic coding principles for young learners. Designed for preschool and early elementary students, the activity bridges real-world decision-making with “if…then…” logic used in computer programming.
In this two-part printable, children observe four different weather scenes through illustrated windows (snowy, rainy, sunny, and windy/autumn). They are instructed to “cut out” various outfits—each tailored to specific weather conditions—and glue the appropriate clothing next to each window. The task mimics how a computer makes decisions based on conditions using if-then statements. For example:
“If the weather is snowy, then wear boots, coat, and earmuffs.”
This worksheet boosts multiple skills:
-
Cognitive thinking through problem-solving and matching.
-
Early computer science logic by introducing conditionals.
-
Fine motor skills via cutting and gluing.
-
Vocabulary expansion with seasonal clothing words.
It can be used in computer science-themed lessons, weather units, or as a cross-curricular activity. Teachers can guide a discussion on what different weather conditions require and how we decide what to wear, just like a computer decides what action to take when a condition is true.
To use:
-
Read the instructions together.
-
Discuss each weather type and brainstorm suitable clothing.
-
Let kids cut out the clothing squares and match them to each weather window.
-
Reinforce learning by having them write or say:
“If the weather is snowy, then wear boots.”
It’s also great for display, small group work, or individual practice. The playful art, logical thinking, and hands-on interaction make this an ideal resource for building foundational STEM skills in a fun, age-appropriate way.
