After discussing the wind and clouds, using white pom-poms or cotton balls and straws, have the children see who's "wind" can blow their "cloud" past the finish line first or see who can blow it the farthest.

Windy Weather Catch: Use a hair dryer to blow a small scarf, tissue (Kleenex) or tissue paper up in the air. Let the children try to catch it as it floats down.

Idea:

*Streamer Tag*

Give each child a paper or fabric streamer to play with outside in the wind. Have them hold it up and then let it go. You can also enjoy a game of streamer tag where

they tag someone with their streamer instead of their hand.

Idea:

*Wind Table*

Set up a wind table by taping blocks around the edge of the table and then forming a maze with more blocks inside. The children then try to blow feathers, cotton balls, etc. through the maze with straws.
