Here are a bunch of great activities to go along with the popular book, "Go Away Big Green Monster!"I haven't tried these with B yet, but I wanted to post them before Halloween for those that already had the book or are looking for a great Halloween activity.
B is going through a phase of having bad dreams and issues with "scary" things so I'm hoping that by reading the story and participating in some of these activities, that he will be able to tell those "scary things" to go away!
Here are a few that I'm excited to try:
Go Away Big Green Monster Playdough Activity from Walking by the Way
Visual Discrimination Activity from Making Learning Fun
Green Monster Sensory Tub from Mommy and Me Book Club
Go Away Big Green Monster Puppet from Artsonia
Go Away Big Green Monster Flip Book from Making Learning Fun
Go Away Big Green Monster Skittles Sorting Mat from Making Learning Fun
Following Directions Activity from Making Learning Fun
Big Green Monster Snack with Printable Kid Friendly Recipe from Making Learning Fun

We've never read this book, but it looks cute!
ReplyDeleteWhen I taught preschool the children would 'build' the monster along with the book using construction paper cut outs. The teacher did the cutting beforehand using the book as a pattern. It was a rare project that we cut out pieces for the children to glue, but this one was worth it. The kids really enjoyed the book and activity.
ReplyDeleteThose do sound like a lot of fun. My son loves this book. I did a review on my blog about it, I hope it's alright that I added a link to your site!

This book is wonderful! My husband was activated and sent to Bosnia when our boys were 2 & 5. My youngest son invented an invisible friend "Visable", we fought bad dreams constantly, & the closet became our enemy. He found Go away big green monster at our weekly library visit. It did wonders! Maybe because he was in control of whether the monster came back or not, I don't know but it was a blessing!
