Description of the material

What keeps your hands warm, and what do you wear in the rain? The children put the answers together themselves in this Clothes Puzzle for Primary School English. Each puzzle combines the English word, a picture of the garment, and a short sentence such as “I keep your hands warm”. First, the children mix up the pieces, then they assemble the puzzles and can glue the completed puzzles into their exercise books at the end. This way, they can revise the clothing vocabulary in a fun way while reading a full English sentence every time.

What’s included:

  • Puzzles combining a word, picture and description
  • Instructions

Ways to use it in English lessons

You can use the puzzles in pairs, at a learning station or in remedial lessons. The children can also cut out the templates themselves, which saves you preparation time.
