Every year I try to do something fun for our fall party in my
first grade classroom. This year I decided to have a MONSTER DAY!!! I had so
much fun trying to find fun ideas (that can be made educational) from Oriental Trading that I think they
are going to LOVE! They have so many monster ideas and it was so hard to
pick. I finally decided on these fun things.
Monster Bean Bag Toss Game – I am going to set this game up at a
math center. Students will throw a bean bag to knock over the plastic
cans. Students will add up the number of cans they knock over using the
color key for the different colors of the cans. Aren’t these little monster
cans CUTE! I will be using these for several other activities during the
school year as well.
Monster Weaving Mat Craft Kit – These will be a
perfect addition to our Monster Party. The only preparation I will need
to do is it tear the perforated paper apart and put in a container at our
art center. Easy Peasy…Lemon Squeezy! I'm so glad that I did one of
these ahead of time... Now I know I need to tear these apart before the party.
Monster Piñata – It doesn’t get much cuter than this
to use for decorating my classroom for our Monster Party. I just have to
figure out how to make sure all 24 of my students get a chance at hitting it
before it breaks. Instead of filling it with candy, I’m painting 24 small
film canisters (Yeah! I finally found a way to use them!!) and then adding a
Tattoo monsters into each of them.
Monster Pencils – We will start our day by writing a
monster story using the Tattoo Monster from our Piñata and a cute Monster
Pencil!! These pencils are hard to sharpen in my regular pencil sharpener
because of the coating that is on them. But I have a hand turned pencil
sharpener that works great on these pencils. There are 6 different
designs for the Tattoos and I'm sure my kiddos will have a favorite.
And of course… what party would be complete without food & decoractions.
Goofy Monster Head Lollipops – Super cute!
I really want to try them…but I only have 2 boxes (12 in a box)… and I have
exactly 24 students. There are 6 different designs and they are different
flavors. Yummo!
Mini Monster Luncheon Napkins & Monster
Party Paper Dinner Plates – A monster
party definitely needs to have monster napkins and plates!!! They are so
cute! My kiddos are going to be so excited to use them. I love that they
are very sturdy and the napkins were bigger than I was expecting.
Mini Monster Cupcake Liners with Picks – I have a
friend that makes awesome cakes and she has volunteered to make the cupcakes
for my party. All I have to do it add these monster picks when I get them to
school. I think I will be more excited than the kiddos!!! The
liners are different colors and go perfectly with the monster theme.
Eyeball Gummy Candy – Monsters and eyeballs... they
go together RIGHT!!! I had to have someone try them out... Isn't he about
the cutest thing you have seen all day! He said they were delicious and
wanted more!
That's it! I am so excited about this party and can hardly wait to see
the expressions on the faces of my students when they walk into our classroom
on MONSTER DAY!
