Learning about seasonal changes
These Kindergarten Science games practice The four seasons. Choose a game above for a short activity, or explore the examples below before you play. The full guide for each game explains its controls, gives more examples and includes a free printable for practice away from the screen.
Talk it through
Start with something you can observe. Ask your child to describe the evidence for a choice, then compare a second example. A game practices vocabulary and reasoning; practical observation and investigation matter too.
Ask: “What clue helped you decide?” Give your child time to explain. Return to an example after playing and ask whether they would approach it differently.
The four seasons
The four seasons used here are spring, summer, fall and winter. Weather, plants and animals change from one season to the next.
Try an example: 🐣 Chicks hatch
Baby animals are born in spring.

Curriculum connections
The four seasons
Suggested Kindergarten practice, selected by skill and reading demand. US states and schools teach these topics in different grades; this is not a state-standards alignment claim.
Next Generation Science Standards teaching connection: ESS2: seasonal patterns. Sorting seasonal pictures gives learners words for changes they can notice through the year. Follow the game by watching weather and plants where you live. This is a teaching connection to the NGSS approach, not a claim that the game meets a performance expectation. Read the framework.
Questions families ask
Where should we start with seasonal changes?

Does this cover everything taught at this level?
No. These games provide focused practice. Grade suggestions do not replace your school’s curriculum, and any Common Core connection applies only to the skill described.
