Kavi's Weather Guess 🌦️
Kavi looked up at the morning sky. "The sun will come up — that's certain! A little rain today? Likely. Snow here in summer? Unlikely. And a rainbow made of jelly? Impossible!" Then Kavi smiled: "After Monday always comes Tuesday — that's a regular pattern. But which way my coin lands? That's a random surprise!"

What your child will learn
1Certain · Likely · Unlikely · ImpossibleEvery chance has a word. Certain = it will happen. Likely = it will probably happen. Unlikely = it will probably not. Impossible = it can't happen. Tap the right box for each one.
2Which is MORE likely?When two things might happen, one can have a bigger chance than the other. Tap each card and compare.
3Can you be SURE, or is it a surprise?A regular pattern repeats the same way, so you can be sure what comes next. A random happening has no fixed order — it is a surprise. Guess, then check.
