Subject: Foreign Languages
(This idea was contributed by Elsa Dominguez)
Age Range: 5 to 11

To teach articles of clothing and accessories, I collected clothes and accessories from our dress-up box and from my and my husband's closet. I wrote the spanish names of each item on cards and placed them in a hat (of course) and had them take turns picking a card from the hat, saying the English name and then putting on that item.

I kept tally marks if they got it right, and gave a prize to the one with the most tally marks. We had loads of fun with this as they looked sillier and sillier at each turn.
