Let's play some games with monsters! This multi-day class will inspire your learner to keep playing games practicing math and literacy skills even after class is over because...who doesn't love feeding monsters? Learners will have an opportunity to decorate boxes to look like monsters and then using materials provided by the teacher, the monsters will help us practice a variety of skills. This class is an extension of a popular, 5 star rated class that focused solely on math games. But I realized our monsters were hungry for more! See below for the break down of each class meeting and the supply list for what needs to be printed and prepared before the start of class. I cannot wait to play fun monster games with you!


Week 1: Making our Monsters!🎨
Class will begin with an ice breaker question and then we will spend the class meeting using our gathered supplies to make 2 monsters that we will use for the duration of the class. As we create, we will talk about the kinds of monsters we are making (Are they silly or scary? What is their favorite snack? Do they have names?). 

Week 2: Monsters Love Math🧮
Class will begin with a number related ice breaker question. Then, using number cards, we will feed the monsters the numbers 1-10 in numerical order. We will also learn about even and odd numbers and end by reaching into the monster's mouths to pull out 2 numbers and practicing adding those numbers together.

Week 3: Monsters Love Shapes 🍕
Class will begin with a shape related ice breaker question. We will then follow a shape pizza recipe to feed our monsters lunch. We will also extend our even and odd learning by sorting shapes by their number of sides. We will then reach into the monster's mouths and pull out 1 shape that we will then match with a card featuring a real life example of that shape (example: match an octagon to a stop sign).

Week 4: Monsters Love Colors 🌈
Class will begin with a color related ice breaker question. We will then feed our monsters the colors of the rainbow in order. Next, we will practice color mixing using water color paint and feeding our monsters the colors we create. Lastly, we will do a fun color scavenger hunt where learners find simple, small items to feed their monsters. 

Week 5: Monsters Love Letters🔠
Class will begin with a letter related ice breaker question. Then, using alphabet cards, we will sing the alphabet and feed our monsters the letters in order. Next, we will identify the beginning sound in various words and feed the monster the letter that makes that sound. Lastly, learners will feed the monsters by spelling their names!
