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:

Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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!"
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
