	Note; These cards not are included in the Laminated Card Pack

Clothes can be a tough theme to teach for a number of reasons, one being the difference between all the different Englishes. For example "pants" and "vest" have very different meanings in the UK and US!
But luckily at this time of year things are a lot simpler with Winter Clothes.

How to teach ....

"Put on your ..." and "Take off your.." are phrases that crop up a lot with winter clothes in school, especially around playtime.

So in the warm up, simply mime putting on and taking off some winter clothes. Then you can try a few games....

Clothes Race Game

Like the Christmas Clothes race have a pile of clothes at the far end of the classroom. Then...

1. You shout out "Put on the ..." + one item of clothing.

2. The first kid in each group has to run and put on the item.
3. The fastest person gets a point for their team.

Or play the Freezing Monkey Game:

1. Draw freezing Baby Monkeys on the board. One for each team.
2. Mime putting on a piece of clothing.
3. The quickest team to guess what it is rolls the dice.
4. On their team's Baby Monkey they draw on the item of clothing that corresponds to the number on the dice.
e.g. 1=hat 2=scarf 3=coat 4=boots 5=sweater 6=take one item off!
5. The first team to a fully clothed baby monkey is the winner!

Or try the "Baby Monkey's Clothes" Picture Book
