This game offers many sets of cards for different learning topics. Phonics Fish Set G is made up of 12 cards that feature things people wear.

The Clothing Monkey Card Game is an easy-to-learn and easy-to-play game suitable for English beginners. It provides the opportunity for participants to get repeated practice using common animal vocabulary words while having fun play a mildly competitive game. Played in partner-pairs of two, participants take turns being either the asker and the answerer. The answerer draws a single card from a set of 18 cards (but keeps it secret), while the asker lays out an identical set of 18 cards in front of them. The asker then needs ask a series of simple questions to deduce which of the 18 cards in front of them matches the "secret card" held by the answerer. The sentence pattern "Is the monkey wearing (a) _________________?" is used by the asker in this game, with different animals being systematically inserted into the blank. After using this sentence pattern to ask a question, based on the answerer's response, the asker can flip any cards that CAN'T be a match to the "secret card" face-down, until only one animal card remains face up.
