Draw a Monster Contest |
Draw a Monster Contest
Activity:
Before beginning this activity discuss monsters. You might want to read Where the Wild Things Are to show the students monsters that are not too scary.
Allow students to draw a monster using Kid Pix.
Have each student type a description of their monster.
Print the descriptions and the monsters.
Keep the monsters.
Give the printed copies of the descriptions to your Campus Technologist.
The descriptions will be taken to another campus and exchanged for their monster descriptions.
The classes will then try to create the original monster using only the descriptions.
Once again an exchange will take place to see the accuracy of the students descriptions.
Extensions:
If Halloween monsters are not appropriate for your class, try a character from a book, your principal, or an animal.
For younger children, try this as a group project. A monster could be provided by the teacher and described in large group time. When the description from the other class is received, the students could try to create it individually in Kid Pix.
Students in third or fourth grade could describe a picture drawn by a younger student.
Exchange descriptions with another class instead of another school.
