This activity has been created for beginner EFL second-graders in a Foreign language class. The main purpose is building vocabulary through different online activities as well as reinforce pronunciation while engaging the students in the use of new technologies.

The teachers can use this activity a little more challenging by asking students to describe colors and sizes on clothes. By placing students into groups, they can use google slides to work simultaneously on their presentation. Another way is by a paper/pencil activity, students can create an informational text in groups to inform other kids' about the summer clothes; make sure to provide students with construction paper, markers, and glue.
