Product description
From the author
Draw My Monster is a speaking and listening game for ESL learners. Begin with a whole-class demonstration, review body-part and shape words, then have partners describe and draw a hidden monster.
The ZIP includes eight JPG pages: monster references, a two-page lesson plan, body-parts labeling with and without a word bank, an optional eye-parts match and shape vocabulary. Supply drawing paper and tools, and adjust the support to learners’ English readiness.
Created by Dylan, The Laughing Linguist.
