Teacher tip

Give a weather sentence and have kids mime putting on the right clothes before they circle.

How to use it

• Point at your own clothes as you name them.
• Act out each weather sentence: shiver for il fait froid, fan yourself for il fait chaud.
• Say every French word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.

Watch for

Saying “les shorts”. In French it is le short, one word for one pair.

Talk about it

• Which clothes word surprised you?
• Does this word look like an English word you know?

Take it further

Have kids draw an outfit and label every piece of clothing.
