RWAAAR! Monster!

I have already shared some of my Halloween activities in previous posts, but I wanted to make sure you had the chance to see this fun activity. We are making monsters. RWAAAAR!

I got the idea here from No Time for Flashcards.

It is really simple, and the kids enjoyed making these scary guys. I am lucky enough to have an assistant to do (almost) all of my copying, laminating, prep, etc. So, she had the hand-cramping task of cutting all the monsters out over the past few weeks. Kind of a cr*ppy job. And yes, I got her some chocolate to fuel her along.  But, I need every minute of my speech session to work with students, so I don't want to spend a bunch of time on cutting. 

Anyway, here are the steps!

Step 1: Find someone to cut out the monsters for you. Provide chocolate and/or coffee to fuel the cutting.

Step 2: After the student completes a therapy task (ie: says a word 5x, uses a complete sentence, etc.), he or she can add one paint dot. This goes on and on until the student feels they have enough paint dots on the monster.

Step 3: The therapist adds a bunch of glue dots all over the monster.

Step 4: After the student completes a therapy task (ie: says a word 5x, uses a complete sentence, etc.), he or she can add one googlie eye. This goes on and on until the therapist feels therapy is done. And, when the student feels they have enough googlie eyes on the monster.

Step 5: Let the monsters dry and decorate your speech room. OOoooooooohhhhhh. So spooky!

Hope you try making these scary dudes with your students. And don't forget to check out my Halloween {Speech and Language} Craftivity on my TPT shop. Your kids will love it too!

Happy Halloween!
