This activity to teach clothes vocabulary is a lot of fun and your students will likely want to play this game several times once they see the funny result.

To play, all you need is some pieces of A4 paper (or card), some scissors, and some coloring pens / pencils.

First, give each students a piece of paper. Assign a different piece of clothing for each of the students to draw. For example, one student will draw a hat, one student will draw a shirt, one student will draw trousers, etc.

Tell students not to show their drawing to their friends. Once students have drawn their item of clothing, ask students to color it in and cut it out.

Once students have finished, draw a simple drawing of a man / woman on the board. Invite students one by one to come to the front and ‘dress’ the man/woman by placing their drawing in the right place on the board.

Once all the drawings of the items of clothing are attached to the board, students will love the silly image they have created together.

TIP: After creating this drawing of a man/woman with different pieces of clothing, you can use it to drill the target language with the students.
