Paper dolls: activity for learning clothing vocabulary

Several variations on the same concept

Each student/ group of students gets a paper doll and several clothing options... or alternatively, they could get blank outlines of the clothing and color each piece in however they like They "dress" the doll and then present their doll to the class, explaining what pieces of clothing it is wearing and the color and style of each garment.

Pairs of students could work on giving directions. One student has a picture of the dressed doll (or a real photo from a magazine, etc.) and gives the other student directions on how to dress the doll to match the original.

Technical problem: Having enough clothing pieces for each group to make the activity challenging, i.e. black pants and striped pants, a short skirt and a long skirt, etc.
