Monsters University!

We are going to see a small part of the Monsters University film, because it is a funny film and many children like this film. But before that we are going to look at the emotions.

The following activities are designed for children between 7 and 8 years.

Pre-teaching

The objective is to teach the various types of emotions with the students. The material that we need is emotions or feelings flashcards .

Activity: Guess the emotions


The teacher  distributes the flashcards to the students. Each student has a flashcard. The teacher chooses one person and he/she should imitate the image of the flashcard in order for the other teammates to guess the emotion.

With this activity the students can demonstrate their creativity.


Teaching


Now it's time to watch a video. Children must choose a character and watch the different expressions and emotions that appear in the video.

Post-teaching

Finally we can do an interesting activity. The students have to create their own monster!

We can use the Voki web page! (http://www.voki.com/create.php)
The students can choose a monster and they can add a voice, a background etc. They must investigate!

After that we can describe their monsters.
