For today's Icebreaker activity, we will be taking turns describing our clothing style to a partner. Your partner has to quickly sketch a clothing design for you. When your partner is finished with drawing the clothing design, switch roles.
Here are some questions you can ask your partner as you design their outfit:
- Do you have a favourite item of clothing or colour of clothing you like to wear? For example, boots, hats, long t-shirts?
- What are your favourite colours to wear? For example, black, red, yellow
- What is your favourite season? For example, Ms. T likes autumn/fall because she gets to wear nice long coats!
Take a photo of your drawing and upload it to Moodle.
Here is an example of Ms. T's clothing style for your reference:
- Do you have a favourite item of clothing or colour of clothing you like to wear? For example, boots, hats, long t-shirts?
