1 - What Are You Wearing? ~5 mins
Look at the person beside you. In English, can you describe what they are wearing in one short sentence?
Today we learn eight French words for clothes. By the end you will be able to dress someone in French: le pull, la jupe, les chaussures and all.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Name eight clothing items in French
- Label a dressed figure with the right French words
- Match each clothing word to its English meaning
2 - Eight French Clothes ~10 mins
Here are today's eight clothing words. Listen to the audio first, then repeat together. After a few cards you can try a quiet guess before the flip if you like. Watch for le, la and les on every card.
3 - Ready for L'école on a Cold Morning ~10 mins
A French primary pupil is dressing for a cold morning on the way to l'école, coat, jumper, shoes and more, but the labels are missing. Look at each marker. Before anyone clicks, whisper the French word with its article at your desk (or show fingers for the option you choose). Then a volunteer clicks the correct French clothing word on the board.
4 - Match the Clothes ~10 mins
On the board, flip two cards at a time and find each French clothing word with its English meaning. When a card is turned, whisper the French word with its article at your desk.
5 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
From today's eight words, write four items that you, someone near you, or the figure on the board is wearing. Copy each with its article (le / la / les). Check each article and copy the spelling carefully from the list.
