Lesson Start: Exploring Clothes in French!
🌟 Welcome to Our French Adventure! 🌟
🎈 Icebreaker Activity: "What's in the Bag?" 🎈
Objective: To introduce vocabulary related to clothes in an engaging and interactive way.
Materials Needed:
- A colourful bag (or backpack)
- Flashcards or real clothing items (e.g., a hat, shirt, and shoes)
- A small mirror
Instructions:
-
Introduction (5 minutes):
- Begin by welcoming the students to the lesson.
- Share that today, they will learn about les vêtements (clothes) in French!
- Ask them if they can name any clothes they wear. As they respond, write a few examples on the board in English.
-
Activity Setup (5 minutes):
- Show the colourful bag to the class and explain that it contains different clothing items.
- Tell them that each item is going to help them learn new French words!
-
What's in the Bag? (15 minutes):
- One by one, take out each clothing item or flashcard from the bag.
- As you pull out an item, hold it up and say the name in French, for example, "un chapeau" for a hat, "une chemise" for a shirt, and "des chaussures" for shoes.
- Encourage the class to repeat after you. For example:
- "Repeat after me: un chapeau!"
- "Fantastic! Now let's say it together: un chapeau!"
-
Mirror Time (5 minutes):
- Hand out small mirrors to each student.
- Invite them to look in the mirror and describe what they are wearing using the new French words they’ve learned. For example, "Je porte un t-shirt" (I am wearing a t-shirt).
- Encourage them to be creative and describe as many items as possible.
-
Wrap Up (5 minutes):
- Finish the activity by bringing all the students back together.
- Ask them to share their favourite piece of clothing in French.
- Reinforce the new vocabulary by writing it on the board once again for visual recall.
🎉 Transition to Lesson:
- After the activity, explain that now they will dive deeper into the world of clothes in French, learning how to describe what they and others wear in sentences!
