Clothes Fun. Students form teams of 3. Each team has a bag with some clothes in it. The first team member puts on the clothes. He/She must say, "This is my shirt", "These are my trousers", "This is my hat" etc., with each item of clothing. Then when all the clothes are on, they say, " I'm dressed" and start removing the clothes, passing them to the next team member, who repeats the process. If you have some fancy high-heeled shoes and silly hats this is a really fun game! Very young beginner students will normally only say, "shirt", "hat" etc. but it's still a worthwhile game for the vocabulary. My students loved it!
Drawing Clothes Fun. Split your class into groups of 6 and give each student a piece of paper to draw on. Assign what each student in the group will draw: S1 will draw a hat, S2 a head, S3 a shirt, S4 pants, S5 shoes and socks, S6 arms and a watch. Don't let each student see what the others in their group are drawing. Also, get them to color in their drawings. Finally, give each group a piece of constuction paper and get them to cut out and gule their creations to the construction paper. They will love what they have created!
Get Dressed! This is a game that I used with my primary school children who have just started learning English:
The kids loved this game. Even the 2 children who wanted to sit out and watch were screeching with laughter. To add a bit more fun, if the team has chosen to dress a boy in their group I add 'dress' or 'skirt' to their list. (Submitted by G Holwill)
