Children are expected to learn weathers according to changes in the
seasons, so in this activity we enable children to watch a game base
video which provide an opportunity to learn by playing for children. The
video is prepared by using Animoto. This is a kind of video creator
program which gives a chance to create a video by using different
photos, music etc. We used this tool to create a game related with
seasons for children. After this part, children are expected to create a
season board by using the recycle materials. They share their boards with
their peers.

Summary
Teacher takes children's attention to weather by saying ''Let's look out
the window and say what the weather looks like today. After children give
their answers, teacher asks '' well, which other weather conditions do you
know and when do you see this weather conditions generally in a year?''
After making discussions about weather conditions, teacher talks about
the game created by Animoto. This game includes photos of seasonal
changes and these photos are ordered in a mixed way. In each photo,
children are expected to assume which season it is or in which season we
can encounter with this weather condition. According to the pictures,
they make an improvisation about the emotions that they feel and
behave in the mentioned season. The game continues till all photos are
seen. After the game, teacher brings the recycle materials such as plastic
cups and plates, colorful ropes, pipes, cotton, paper roll; crayon,
cardboard etc. Later, as small groups, children create each season's
weather condition and share it with the other groups. At the end of the
activity, they can make an evolution of the activity.
