Hefs wearing a jumper.
(Hefs wearing a jumper.)
And hefs wearing a shirt.
(Hefs wearing a shirt.)

Shefs wearing a dress,

And, whatfs this? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 shoes?
Yes, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 shoes!

Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.

Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.
Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.

Hefs wearing a coat.
(Hefs wearing a coat.)
Hefs wearing boots.
(Hefs wearing boots.)
Shefs wearing a scarf.
(Shefs wearing a scarf.)
And hefs wearing mittens! (Hefs wearing mittens.)

And, whatfs this?
Red and pink and yellow and blue shoes!
Yes, red and pink and yellow and blue, shoes.

Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.
Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.
Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.
Welcome to the Animal Fashion Show.


There isn't a clothes theme in Genki English ( yet!), but there is one included in the Kids English series.
The song is very simple to do, just mime putting on each piece of clothing!


Game

Similarly to the Christmas Eve theme, here we have a board with a character from the picture book and a set of stickers with clothes of different colours. You listen to the CD and put the correct colour clothes on the character.

In the classroom, it's best to do this on the chalkboard at the front. Draw up a big body, then as you listen to the CD as a class, the kids draw on the correct colour clothes. Just make sure you have enough coloured chalks or pens.

On the CD we also explain the game rules in Japanese ( just in case!), and run through several variations of the game.


Picture Book: "Animal Fashion Show"

As you can see from the example above, this picture book is big, colourful and bold. There are also lots of comic touches like having the characters being too hot or cold with the clothes they have, or things like the giraffe having a very, very, very long scarf.

As with the other Kids English theme, once the kids have learnt the song they can easily understand the picture book, even in one 45 minute lesson.

On the CD there are three recordings of the narration, chose the one according to the kids mood from "Parentese" ( really slow and clear), "Normal" or "Genki".


This theme is available in the Genki English "Kids English" set!
