About the words There are loads of different kinds of clothes in the world and there are new ones coming out all the time. The images in this set are of the most common clothes. I have not included local variations like kimonos or burkas at present though I might include those sorts of clothes down the line. (With the time it takes to add images in I wouldn’t want to exclude anyone for a significant period of time so I just go with what comes up or gets requested.) Who is this sheet for? These cards are for any students who want to talk about the clothes. I’ve had a number of students over the years who were designers or dressmakers and talking about clothes is often a lot of fun. As clothes are something we all use and interact with each day it’s a good chunk of vocabulary to know. Using the worksheetThere are countless ways to use cards in classes. Games of memory, matching games, and games where kids run to the card or throw the card into a hat for a point. As long as you are active and fun and the kids are enjoying themselves you’re going to have a great time and they are too. Make sure you and your students say the words again and again and speak, make sentences so everyone can hear and say the sentences in context. Note: Kids have a way of destroying cards they get hold of, so after printing the cards you might want to laminate them and remember to round off the edges so no one gets a sharp card in the eye. If you do it well enough this opens up the usage of the cards for a few good games where you can flick or flip the cards to be more active.
