  • Hang a washing line in class from one wall to the other.
  • Ask your students to guess items which might be on the line.
  • When they guess correctly, using clothes pegs, hang up the items one by one on the washing line.
  • Ask them to repeat the names of the items after you as you hang.
  • Repeat the words again and again.
  • Ask your students to close their eyes.
