Who hasn’t worn anything on their
heads to protect themselves from the sun, the cold, or just because. That is
why this time around we can have our learners discuss a bit about the kinds of
“hats” they have worn or continue to wear.
Though this is not an extensive list
of hats, here you are presented with six types of types that we can work with
our students when dealing with clothing, and from this point, we can go a bit
beyond the mere concept of hat. With these two sample activities, we can ask
them for their preferences, but we can also venture into asking them under what
circumstances these types of hats can be worn. Give them a try.
Sample Activity 1 – What’s the
occasion?
Provide your students with a similar
chart (like the one you see below). Ask them to think of -at least- two
different situations (occasions) in which these types of hats can be worn. Some
of them may be a bit unusual to the learner, which makes the activity much more
challenging for them.

Activity 2 – The Theater Play
Tell
your students they need to imagine they are now in charge of the theater actors’
costumes for a series of theater sketches. Tell them to think of the kind of
clothing (and hats, of course), the characters will need to wear.
