GO AWAY BIG GREEN MONSTER

With Kindergartners, I work the English language through short and funny stories in connection with topics in which they can be interested in. Using this methodology, they learn the new vocabulary in context and it is more enriching than learning isolated words.

When I explain the story, I use a big storybook with illustrations but the previous sessions before reading the book, I teach my students the most important vocabulary of the book using different tools and activities in order to make the plot easier to understand.

Some types of activities which I use to introduce vocabulary are the following:

- Flashcards with pictures

- Puppets coming out from a magic box

- Hide and seek vocabulary for the classroom

- Guessing a word giving clues

- Songs in relation with the topic

- Memory games

- Roll dice games

Below you can see some resources and worksheets that I have prepared about the Go Away Big Green Monster story. 

Worksheet 1: Colour the Big Green Monster

Worksheet 2: Find the Big Green Monster

Worksheet 3: Count the body parts

Worksheet 4: Find a monster with...

The last activity of each story is making a creative book so the students can have a resource to help them to explain the story to their family and relatives.
