The Colour Monster

Product Information

This activity has its roots in social-emotional learning skills. These skills aid little ones in developing self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills. Have your students draw 2 jars; one in which they will write a happy memory, and one in which they record a sad memory. Once your learners have completed the writing task, invite them to share their memories with the class and connect with others. Look at the illustrations in the book. How have they been created? Could you use a similar technique for your own pictures? Use Scratch (or a similar coding platform) to program a monster that changes colour when you press different keys (or when another action takes place).
