Since the Monster characters are make-believe, helping students to feel more comfortable describing and drawing bodies. This material is perfect for mixed-ability groups and works well for whole-class, small-group, or centre activities.

Students practice numbers and vocabulary at the same time—by counting “3 eyes,” “2 arms,” or “5 fingers” to reinforce both content areas naturally. Place a Monster on the board and ask questions: How many fingers does the Monster have?

Understanding left and right is an important early skill. Associating it with a monster's body (e.g., “left arm,” “right eye”)  as they sort the flashcards on the board.

Left/Right practice cards

Points game. Write several different point values on the board as I wrote 1 to 5 for example. Stick any body flashcard over the points so your stduents can’t see the point under each flashcard. Have a students say a sentence for any flashcard: This is the left arm.  If the sentence is correct, remove that flashcard and reveal the number of points won. At the end, all the points are tallied for the students or teams participating.
