What the teacher does:
I will play the song on the screen and I will tell them to listen to the
song and try to sing it and imitate the movements on the video.
I will sing the song with the children and do the movements with
them and I will play the song twice so they can remember.
I will practice with the students how they can move like the monster
dose in the video, and then I will play the song again and let them
move with it without seeing the video just listen to the song and
show me there activity.
1-I will explain the activities in the circle area.
2-will let them go back to their groups to do the activities.
3-First activity; create their own monster with different materials.
4-Second activity; worksheet counting
Effort Awareness: How they
will count with their hands and
fingers.
Duration of Activity:
Approximately 15-20 minutes.
What the children do:
The children united in a circle area and listen to the teacher, and try to
copy the movements while the music is playing on the board.
The children will sing with me, clap and point with their fingers on
their foot and listen to the song with copying the movement.
Children will try to dance and move their body with me, and then they
will dance with the song again- the whole class- without seeing the
video and they will try to remember the movements that they saw it
the first time on the video.
1-The children will go back to their groups for the activities after I
explain the activities on each group.
2-They will create their own monster by using plate and some colorful
papers and googly eyes. When they finish they will count how many
googly eyes they put for the monster.
5-third activity; create their own monster with clay 3- They will have worksheet that include table and they must count the
monsters and write the number next to it.
6-fourth activity; monsters coloring activity
4- They will make their own monster by using different colors of clay
7- Rotate the group to make sure that all the class did the activity.
and googly eyes.
5- They will have a sheet that has different types of monsters and they
will color them with different colors.
6- all the class will do the four activities.
Extension Ideas:
The teacher could bring a monster costumes for the children and let them wear it while they sing the song and do the movements and that will
develop few areas such as: body kinesthetic: they will be using their body and their fine motor skill for counting with their fingers and
bending to continue counting.
Interpersonal and intrapersonal: children will do the activity with whole class or by themselves and let them create their movement .
The teacher can use this song as well to continue teaching the counting until further number.
