1. Introduce the Vocabulary

Begin by introducing the words to your students. Discuss their meanings, use them in sentences, or brainstorm additional words related to winter.

Have students work in pairs or small groups to complete the exercise. This promotes teamwork and provides opportunities for discussion about the vocabulary.

3. Extend the Learning

Once the activity is complete, consider follow-up steps such as:

• Drawing their own winter scenes and labeling them with the vocabulary words.
• Writing a short paragraph or story using the words they’ve learned.
