=Description of Game – Occasions and Clothing=

1. Suitcase 2. a list of possible occasions (i.e. “when I go to a nice restaurant…,” “when it’s cold…,” “when I go to the beach…,” etc.) 3. Lots of clothing items (make sure you have at least 2 items of clothing per each of the occasions. 4. 3 laundry baskets 5. chalkboard/chalk
 * Materiales:**

1. Divide the class in half (2 teams), with an aisle in the center. 2. One student from each team competes at a time. 3. The 2 competitors stand at the back of the room, behind a laundry basket filled with clothing items. 4. There are two laundry baskets at the front of the room, one designated for each team, in front of the chalkboard. 5. The suitcase sits near these two laundry baskets at the front.
 * Set-up:**

1. As the two competitors stand near the laundry basket filled with clothes, the teacher states one of the occasions from her/his list. This is stated like, “When it snows…” 2. Competitors must find a clothing item that is appropriate to wear for the occasion stated. 3. They walk quickly to the front of the room to put the item in their team’s designated basket. 4. After they put their item in the basket, they race to write finish the teacher’s sentence on the board. I make them use this format:
 * How to play:**

“…I wear (the item of clothing they chose), (plus two adjectives describing the clothing).”

At this point, their team members can help them by shouting out suggestions on how to write the sentence correctly. 5. When the student believes their sentence is complete and correct. They say “done/hecho.” The student they are competing against can finish writing their sentence too. 6. The student who finished first, gets the first chance to read their sentence with the appropriate pronunciation. 7. They ONLY get a point if they chose an appropriate item of clothing according to the occasion, wrote the sentence correctly, and pronounce the sentence correctly. 8. If they do NOT have all 3 of the aforementioned requirements for the point, they put their item of clothing in the suitcase, and the opportunity to pronounce defaults to competitor 2.

Students really got into this in my class. It’s nice because you don’t have to keep score because the team with the most items of clothing in their basket at the end is the winner.
