Body
Here are some more ideas from the FLTEACH listserv for practicing describing clothing and personal appearance.

You can go on-line and print out paper doll patterns, label the clothing and they can dress their dolls up.

Put a bunch of OLD clothes in a bag for each team (like 3 kids to a team or so) and create a fictional character that the "up" team member must pretend to be. Then say something like "Bobby lleva una camiseta" and the first kid to find the camiseta from the bag and put it on wins. Then you go on....

For this topic I use the Spanish edition of People magazine. One issue in particular is Los 50 Mas Bellos. It was the June 2006 issue last year.

In it are photos of famous Hispanic people and a small amount of writing, which includes: His/Her name, nationality, age, and profession. I sorted through the pictures, cut out the ones with people wearing the clothing that we had discussed, attached them to a another sheet of paper (color coated for males/females) and laminated them. I then created a worksheet with a list of questions to ask and space to write the answers.

In groups of two Student A has a picture and Student B asks the questions pertaining to the picture and writes down the response that Student A gives them. This can be an information gap activity if you stress for the students not to show the pictures to their partner. After the worksheet was completed they got to choose a new picture/person that looked interesting to them and the pair switched roles.
