Description of the material

The game piece lands on a space, and the child is asked to say what they wear in the rain or what a jacket looks like. With this Clothes Small Talk Game, primary school children get talking about clothes in English, either in pairs or in a group. Players take turns rolling the dice, and most spaces feature a question or task, ranging from their favorite piece of clothing to clothes for winter. A few event spaces move the game piece forward or back or make a player miss a turn. This way, the clothing vocabulary is not only repeated but used in conversation right away.

What’s included:

  • Game board with questions and tasks about clothes
  • Game instructions

Uses in English lessons

After introducing the vocabulary, the game is suitable for the practice phase or as one of the activities in a station-based lesson.

Learning objectives and skills developed

  • Speaking: Answer questions about clothes in English
  • Vocabulary: Name clothes in English suitable for the weather, season, and occasion
  • Reading: Read and understand short questions in English

To complement this, there are the Small Talk Cards, Don’t Say It!, and the What Am I? – Cards.

Have fun trying it out and talking!
