The upside-down weather desk
The forecast is sunny, but someone has put the sky in upside down. The elf needs a new weather presenter.
Something has gone very wrong at the North Pole weather centre, and the elf has gone looking for help.
Children take over the weather desk, look out of the window, choose the right card and deliver the day’s forecast in their best television voice.
It’s a quick, playful way to start the morning, and it gets everyone noticing what the weather is actually doing. Keep the cards somewhere handy so the forecast can be updated every day for the rest of December.
How to set it up
- Draw rain, snow and sunshine on separate cards. Give the sun a smile so everyone can tell which way up it goes.
- Prop the sun upside down on a low windowsill. Lay the spare forecasts beside the elf.
- Ask a forecaster to look outside, correct the bulletin and announce today’s weather.
