Clothes Unit for Preschool ESL

LINK to the Clothes Unit Resource: 
It is available at my other store:

Take a look at the preview!
Clothes Flashcards for Speaking.
Teacher: What is this ?
Students: It’s a sweater.
Teacher: What color is the sweater ?
Students: It’s a purple and green.
Teacher: What are these ?
Students: They are boots.
Teacher: What color are the boots ?
Students: They are blue and red.

Take a look at most of the clothing items flashcards.
Clothes  Flashcards and Commands. Use the flashcards to review common imperatives by handing in all the flashcards to the students, if you have double flashcards it’s going to be better. Students listen to your instruction and complete the task.
Teacher: Dress !  Run to the door!
Teacher: Girls! Touch your dress!
Clothes flashcards sort by gender.

Clothes and Weather Flashcards.  Review the Weather flashcards and the clothes the children are wearing.
Teacher: It’s windy! What is she wearing ?
Students: She is wearing a pink t-shirt, a blue skirt and pink shoes.
Give the flashcards to random students and have place the clothing item under the correct weather to wear it.
Say a weather word and the students will name the clothing items.
Teacher: rainy!
Students: rain boots and raincoat.
Clothes and Weather Flashcards.

Clothes and family. Review the family members vocabulary.
Teacher: Look at dad. What is dad wearing ?
Students: He is wearing a green t-shirt, blue pants and gray shoes.

Flashcards and games. Play Guess Who? Place the children flashcards on the board and a number under each one. Students have to guess which card is the one you picked. Or simpley ask questions: What is he or she wearing?

Here are some worksheets. I usually over plan a lesson, the more resources I have the less stressed out I will be . Sometimes, students finish faster than we think and those dreaded extra minutes are horrible. I used to carry a cart with so many resources for that purpose. 
Worksheet 1. After coloring them in any technique that you choose, use them as miniflashcards. They serve as a visual and tactile resource for each child. They can make for flexible activities to use along the theme. Frequent practice of the new vocabulary builds confidence.
Maintain interest in the new unit by having children dress up the model as themselves or someone else. You choose the subject. Children will come with their own ideas for the dress up. 
I added a set of letters that can be used to rewrite the vocabulary words.
And if you like to use recycled magazines,then, this activity is for your students.

As for coloring each clothing item I usually do direct instruction as a listening activity and I invite sudents to give the instruction as well.

Worksheet 2.Students draw themselves or another student. have them describe what their character is wearing.
Student: This is me. I am wearing an orange T-shirt, blue pants and red shoes.
Then, students can cut out their character and glue it onto a toilet paper roll and make a puppet to role play with other students.
Worksheet 3. Have the students practice colors and numbers along with the clothes vocabulary.
Worksheet 4. It is always fun to see what the students can draw on their t-shirts or sweaters. I added a hanger to make a clothesline to hang all the t-shirt and have the students guess the t-shirt.
And to complement, the letter arts and craft for the Clothes theme. Link:
