MONSTER FACTORY! Build a Monster - Dice / Spinner Game

Every monster is unique with this fun, non-competitive game to practise colours 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!

As well as practising counting, colours and body words, you can 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, and describing appearance.

After playing, kids can make their own DIY spinners or dice with the printable templates provided!

This printable game is perfect for playing in groups, or as an individual activity. Suitable for 3 - 7 year olds.
