We are learning how to talk about what people wear and how to describe their clothing. So, just to spice things up a bit, I found this atrocious paper doll online (the file is downloadable at the bottom of this entry) and printed it out for the kids. I told them that they had to dress "Fabio" in at least 5 articles of clothing or accessories from their vocabulary list. I also told them that I wanted to see the most bizarre outfits possible. The teenage boys especially began scouring their lists for the most horrible outfits, just a few of which are pictured at left.
Next, we wrote descriptions of what Fabio was wearing in Spanish, including colors and patterns.
Tomorrow when they return to class, all of the Fabio's will be displayed on the board. Each student will be handed a description and be asked to locate the correct Fabio based on that description.
Then, we will talk about what made it easy to find the correct Fabio (details!) and what made it difficult (lack of details). We will work together to add details to the descriptions that didn't make the cut.
Here are some links to additional activities that you can use to teach clothing:
Spanish "Whodunnit" Activities
"La Camisa Negra" por Juanes: Song Activities
