Round pieces of ice that fall from the sky are called hail. Bits of hail are usually small, but sometimes they are as big as golf balls or even bigger! Sometimes hail can hurt people and cause damage to cars and other things. Even though hail is made of ice, it usually comes when it is warm outside. Hail is made by thunderstorms, which often come during the summer.
Suddenly we heard a strange noise. We looked outside and we saw hail bouncing off the streets and the tops of cars! It was fun to watch, but it didn't last very long.
