Juliet and Jean-Baptiste wish Oscar a nice time 'au défilé de mode' - at the fashion show.
Un jeu de mémoir (Memory game): In this game children have to remember ten items of clothing. As the game progresses, encourage children to join in with listing the items of clothing.
Mme Réponse-à-tout on grammar: George wants to know why the French for trousers is 'un pantalon' and not 'des pantalons'. Mme R-a-t explains that many words for clothes in English are plural - words such as 'shorts', 'tights', 'pyjamas', and 'jeans'. But this is not the case in French, so it is 'un short', 'un collant', 'un pyjama', 'un jean'.
