The Four Seasons for Kids | Learn about the four seasons throughout the year

What is your favorite season in the year? The Four Seasons for Kids explores why we have these distinct periods throughout the year. You will learn a lot about spring, summer, fall, and winter. Did you know that the seasons depend on the rotation of the earth around the sun? Believe it or not, your location plays a part in the weather you experience outside.

As the earth rotates around the sun, different parts of the planet face the sun. For half the year, the Northern Hemisphere is leaning toward the sun, making the months warmer. During the other half, the Souther Hemisphere leans toward the sun. That means that when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere! If you live in the United State and have a friend who lives in Australia, your winter is their summer and vice versa.

During the spring, flowers and plants bloom or blossom. In most parts of the United States, this season occurs during March, April, and May. Summer is next and occurs during June, July, and August. The temperatures warm up even more, sometimes getting very hot! In the fall, the weather starts to cool down, and the leaves of many trees change colors.

A lot of people refer to fall as autumn. During autumn, animals start to gather food to prepare for the winter months. And this is period is also when farmers harvest their crops. Fall happens from September to November, which leaves December through February for winter! Winter brings the coldest weather, but there are lots of fun activities to do outside during the winter, such as skiing and ice skating.

Not all places experience the four seasons. Some places, such as the North and South Poles, always face away from the sun, making them cold year around. Similarly, places closest to the Equator are always facing the sun, making them warm year around. You might live somewhere that doesn't change very much or seem to have distinct weather changes from season to season. But you probably still feel a little cooler in winter and warmer in summer, even if the changes aren't very drastic.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these four seasons and what makes each one unique! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
