Name It or Wear It! (any grade)
Author:

Subject:
Foreign Language
Objective:
Naming clothing, colors, body parts, etc.
Materials and Preparation:
A LARGE collection of a variety of clothing, styles,
colors, patterns, etc. The more, shall we say, UNUSUAL
the better!
Determine which objective you will use: colors, patterns,
body parts or clothing.
Student Grouping:
Students divided into 2 or more teams.
The Play:
- The teacher pulls out a random article and the student
must say, for instance, what it is in the target language.
- If the student is unable "name it", he/she
must then "wear it."
- If he/ she correctly states what it is in the target
language, he/she can then elect someone from the other
team to "wear it."
- For this activity, the article of clothing just needs
to be ON their person in some fashion. Not all things
will fit!
Scoring:
There is no real scoring usually, but you could assign
points to each article of clothing worn by each team.
Usually, I take class photos to be posted in my room for
a few days or for whenever our school open house occurs
for a conversation piece while the parents visit!
Further Play:
In order to remove the items the students must correctly
identify them.
If you aren't playing in teams the students may even
select the teacher to wear the items. The students would
simply name the items as you removed them. Or, you could
have a pop quiz and have them write down the item one
by one as you remove them.
