Make a Monster – Collaborative Art Project
I am a huge fan of large group art projects – I love that each child can bring a different vision to the project. I also love them for practical reasons, it’s a lot easier to find space for one large project to dry than it is to find space for 20 small projects, and they use far fewer materials. One year I made a dragon with my class. I drew the outline on a large sheet of table paper, and they decorated it with bingo markers. It was amazing to see the details that they included, and which parts of the dragon each child chose to work on. I…

Monster Bingo
Did you see the cute Monster Math Number Cards that I shared yesterday?! Well I made something else to go with them. I love bingo because it is super easy to teach even the youngest children how to play. With picture bingo all the children have to do is match the picture card that you hold up to a picture on their bingo card. This cute Monster Bingo set includes 5 different bingo cards and all of the picture cards that you will need in order to call the game. Your students can play this game independently as a center activity, or you can use it for a small group…

Books about monsters
Monsters are an interesting subject to explore with preschoolers because the children are fascinated by them, and they have so many different thoughts and opinions about the subject. They may be aware that monsters are not real, yet they are still terrified of them. Some children may enjoy being scared, while others would rather not even think about it. Monsters belong to the realm of make believe that preschoolers are still attempting to understand. Here are some of my favorite monster books for the classroom – these can be fun for the Halloween season as an alternative to ghosts and vampires. All links are affiliates. Go Away, Big Green Monster!…

Friday Freebie – Halloween Alphabet Game
Happy Friday! I know many of you are celebrating Halloween today or over the weekend, but for those of you who are waiting until Monday I have the perfect last minute game for you today. This Halloween Alphabet Game is from Christina Price, and it is adorable! Children draw cards with letters, and if they can name the letter correctly they get to keep the card, but if they pick up a Frankenstein card they have to put all of their cards back. Not only is it a fun way to practice the alphabet, it’s also a lesson in self-regulation! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a…

Halloween Treat Bag Ideas
I try to be the teacher who is prepared for everything, and I’ve learned over the years that a holiday cannot come and go without children having a ton of stuff to take home with them – seriously, even if you don’t even have a party parents will still send treats. So whenever I plan for holidays I always include an easy container to take all the stuff home in. I’ve gathered some treat bag ideas for Halloween that the children can create themselves, and these won’t break the bank as far as supplies are concerned! Ghost bags from All Kids Network Full Moon Lunch Bags from Scrapbook Destination Duct…
