MONSTER FACTORY! Print & Play Game

Every monster is unique with this fun, non-competitive game to practise counting, colors and parts of the body! Kids spin the spinner or roll the dice and add the part of the body to their monster mat using play dough and googly eyes (or a dry-erase marker). They can play as many rounds as they want and build up their own one-of-a-kind monsters!

 
HOW TO USE THE GAME:

As well as practising counting, colours and body words you can also use this game as an opportunity to talk about differences and uniqueness. For second language development it's also a great tool for teaching comparative structures, adjective-noun order, describing appearance and counting.

After playing, kids can make their own DIY spinners or dice with the printable templates provided! There are also 3 types of photocopiable activity sheets included: full- page monster bodies for children to complete and colour, fill-in-the-number sheets and the option to include a written description of their monster.

It's also perfect for playing in groups or as an individual activity and suitable for 3 - 7 year olds.
