FOR MEN, FOR WOMEN OR UNISEX?
Divide the players in teams and say: It’s summer time, what can I put in my suitcase? Each team will list the items to pack in the suitcase. The game can have a time limit or can end when one of the teams says Stop! Teams gain 1 point for each correct answer, while for each wrong answer they lose a point. The winner is the team with the highest score. The game leader can also say: It’s summer time, what have I not to put in my suitcase? / What do I not need? and: It’s winter time, what can I put in my suitcase? It’s winter time, what have I not to put in my suitcase? / What do I not need? Players can also practise the structure: What do you wear in winter/summer? In winter/summer I wear…
Some clothes and accessories are only for men or women, whilst others are unisex. The teacher can show the cards and ask whether the picture is for men, for women or unisex (for example, a jacket is normally for men, but there are also jackets for women, etc). The students must also pay attention to singular and plural nouns: Suit is for men, skirt suit is for women, pyjamas are unisex… If you want to use the singular form of the verb, plural nouns must be used with the expression ‘a pair of’: (socks, slippers, flip-flops, tights, gloves, jeans, flippers, sunglasses, shorts, trousers, sandals, trainers, pyjamas, shoes, flat shoes, boots…)
WINTER: woollen hat, socks, overcoat, cardigan, tights, hoodie, anorak, gilet, gloves, jeans, vest, polo-neck jumper, V-neck jumper, trousers, puffer coat, trainers, shoes, walking boots, scarf, beret, boots, tracksuit, ski suit, dress... SUMMER: bermuda shorts, cap, scuba mask and flippers, sunglasses, flip-flops, sandals, swimming costume, swimming trunks, flat shoes, shorts, T-shirt, vest, sun cream, polo-shirt, silk scarf...
