Once upon a time, there was a group of clothes that lived in a closet. The shirt, suit, jeans, tie, scarf, skirt, jacket, belt, and coat all got along well. One day, they decided to play a game of dress-up.

The shirt put on the suit and a tie, but he looked too formal. The jeans put on a jacket, but he looked too casual. The scarf wrapped around the skirt, but she looked too cold. The belt tried to go around the coat, but he couldn't fit.

Just then, the door opened and a little boy entered the closet. "Wow!" he said, "What a funny group of clothes!" And with that, he picked out the shirt with the suit, tie, and scarf to wear to his fancy dinner. The jeans with the jacket for a playdate, and the coat with the belt for a snowy day.

From that day on, the clothes were happy knowing they could be part of different outfits and adventures. The end.

Reflections

1. What did the clothes do in the closet?
2. How did the little boy feel about the group of clothes?
3. What outfits did the boy choose for different activities?
4. What did the clothes learn from their dress-up game?
