We have to dress the right way in cold weather. We wear hats, gloves, and boots. Many people also like hot drinks and sitting safely by a cozy fire. If you don’t keep your body warm, you could get hurt or sick.

Animals get cold in the winter, too. Some birds fly to warmer places. There they can find food. Some animals hibernate. That means they sleep for a long time.

What do you think? How else can people and animals stay warm in winter?
