Clothes Theme Flashcards for Kindergarten

Clothes Flashcards for Preschool ESL (Vocabulary Practice) and the complete resource, at this link:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Clothes-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-12-6483533

Teaching clothes vocabulary to preschool ESL learners can be fun, engaging, and effective with the right visual support. Flashcards are one of the best tools to introduce new vocabulary, build confidence, and encourage speaking from the very first lesson.

In this Clothes Unit for Preschool ESL, you’ll find a complete set of flashcards designed to help young learners recognize, say, and remember clothing vocabulary through repetition and play.

These flashcards are part of a larger complete teaching unit that includes games, worksheets, small cards, and a mini book — everything you need to plan your lessons with no stress and no extra preparation.

How to Use These Flashcards in Your ESL Classroom

Lesson Plan Part 1. Presentation with the Flashcards for the clothing items, such as: hat, raincoat, socks, shoes,blouse,boots, raincoat,jeans, skirt, dress, shorts, coat,sweater, pants, T-shirt,shirt,gloves, pants and more. Use these for the students to name each word.

·     Plan clothes activities with your preschoolers by identifying clothes and colors. Introduce the clothes flashcards.

Do the same with the plural.

Color of the clothes with flashcards

·       Place the clothes flashcards on the board, one of each color clothing item. Say a color and students say which item it is.

Teacher: blue!

Students: hat!

And then, say the clothing item and the students say the color.

Teacher: T-shirt! 

Students: orange!

 

Sorting the Flashcards by color

Clothes Flashcards can be sorted by color on the board.Just make a colored splotch or bring the splotch already printed. I have some available at my TPT store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Colors-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-2-5956256

Sort into more colors as your students can.

What's the uniform at school using the Flashcards 

·       If students wear uniform at school, make a mind map related to what they wear to school. Place the school flashcard in the middle of the board and start asking students to name the clothing items and then place those flashcards on the board. If you need any other clothing item in any specific color, let me know. Ask questions: 

Teacher:What color is the shirt?
Students: Yellow!
Teacher:What color are the pants?
Students: blue!

Sorting the clothes Flashcards by boy or girl

Have the students sort some of the flashcards into boy or girl. You might also want to do the clothes that are the same for both.Students can name each clothing item: This is a skirt. These are boots.

Introduce the present continuous 

Place two of the people flashcards on the board. Have two students come to the board and point to each clothing item as you name them.

Teacher: Point to Pam’s T-shirt.

Teacher: What color is Pam’s T-shirt?

Student: gray!

Teacher: What is Pam’s wearing?

Student: She is wearing a gray T-shirt.

Use the Flashcards to ask questions

Place several people flashcards and ask questions with WHO.

Teacher: Who is wearing a blue skirt?

Students: Carol!

Ask your students to look at themselves and ask: What are you wearing?

Games using the Flashcards 

  Play stand and sit down. Use the Commands flashcards to review stand up and sit down.

Hand in the clothes cutouts to all the students. Tell the students to stand up as they hear their clothing item.

Teacher: All shoes, stand up!

When all the students are standing up, say the opposite and have them sit down.

Teacher: All dresses, sit down!

Vary the game by giving students instructions to stand up or sit down according to the clothes they are wearing.

Teacher: Students with a T-shirt stand up!

Commands Flashcards. I always add several commands flashcards to all the units. 

Use these flashcards to give instructions related to the student’s clothes and students will act the action.

Teacher: Button your shirt/pants.

Teacher: Zip your jacket/pants.

Review the emotions vocabulary with the Flashcards 

Can clothes have emotions? Maybe not. Here is a set of emotions flashcards on clothes, basically winter clothes. Students can sort them into happy, sad and angry: It's a happy boot!

These clothes unit cutouts are ideal for creating interactive learning experiences in the ESL classroom. Check it out:     https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2021/01/moving-on-with-12th-resource-for-your.html
