Weather Games for Kids

Weather games for kids are a great way to get kids interested in science. With weather games, kids learn about all the science behind the weather. For example, they learn about cloud formation, rain, what causes the wind to blow or snow to form or why there are seasons. They also learn about the earth’s climate, past earth temperatures including the highest ever temperature ever recorded on earth. And just like scientists, they can keep track of the rain, temperature or wind on a daily basis.

Weather games are also fun. And what’s great about these games is that kids can develop an interest in science and in the scientific approach. For example, some games involve collecting and analyzing data, which is exactly what scientists do when they conduct research. There are many kinds of weather games for kids such as weather labs and weather stations. In this section, we select the best games available in the market today.
