Fashion Styles

Activity 1: Fashion Finders

Have the young people work in groups of two or three. Assign each group a different set of fashion styles. They are to find three to five examples of these styles in magazines, cut out the pictures, glue them onto plain paper, and write the name of the style beside each picture. At the end of the activity, have the groups report on what they found. Discussion questions: Were some styles difficult to find? Which ones? Were some styles much easier to find? Which ones? Does the season affect the availability of some styles?

Activity 2: Word Search Puzzles

Give each participant a copy of each of the three puzzles to complete.
