Activity Overview
To enhance student learning and comfort with weather expressions, ask them to relate weather expressions to logical clothing items. In the model storyboard, a friend is asking, “What are you wearing and why?” Students must use complete sentences, an appropriate weather expression, and appropriate clothing options to respond. In addition to weather expressions, this activity allows students to practice their conjugation of the verb llevar and their use of clothing vocabulary. According to skill level and interest, students may create either a simple, straightforward storyboard, or they may choose to research new clothing vocabulary and less common weather expressions.
For further advancement, ask students to research weather in other areas of the world at various times. The friend calling in the storyboard states where they are, the weather, and what, therefore, they are wearing. Then the student’s character responds similarly from their area of the world.

How Tos about Clothing Vocabulary Practice for Spanish
Integrate clothing vocabulary games for active learning
Boost student engagement by incorporating interactive games that reinforce clothing words and weather expressions. Games make vocabulary practice fun and memorable, helping students recall terms more easily while moving and interacting with classmates.
Choose a simple matching or charades game to start
Select a game like matching cards (clothing items to weather conditions) or clothing charades, where students act out what they're wearing based on a weather prompt. These formats are low-prep and get everyone involved, even quieter students.
Prepare visual aids and vocabulary cards
Create colorful cards with images and Spanish words for clothing and weather. Visuals support comprehension and make it easier for students to connect words with real items or situations.
Model the game and reinforce complete sentences
Demonstrate how to play, using full sentences like, “Llevo un abrigo porque hace frío.” Modeling supports proper language use and sets expectations for student responses during the game.
Encourage teamwork and friendly competition
Invite students to play in pairs or small groups, keeping score if appropriate. Teamwork builds confidence and adds excitement to vocabulary practice.
