Monster Parade

Monster Parade is an active, large group activity that requires some preparation before class from the volunteers.

Preparation
Before class, the volunteers come up with several "monster parts": fangs, wings, claws, a tail, two heads, etc. The volunteers write these parts down and place them into a bag. Alternatively, before the activity begins, the kids can be asked to come up with parts of their own to use.

Directions
Have each child select a monster part, either from a prepared bag of monster parts assembled by the volunteers or from parts suggested by the kids themselves. The kids then pair up and must combine their parts somehow to create a monster, which they then act out together for the rest of the kids.
