For week 2, our theme was Monsters and Crazy Creatures. These are the activities that were played in the 2-3 and 4-6 groups.
Song: If You Ever Meet
a Monster (Sung to: Did you Ever See A Lassie)
If you ever meet
a monster, a monster, a monster,
If you ever meet
a monster go this way or that (make two different scary faces; running motions)
Song: Horns and Fangs (Sung to: "Head and
Shoulders")
Horns and fangs,
knees and toes,
knees and toes.
Horns and fangs,
knees and toes.
Eyes and ears and tail and claws.

Activity: Sleeping Monsters - Walk around like monsters. The monster keeper calls “sleeping monsters” and the children drop to the
floor and pretend to sleep. When the monster keeper is looking away, the “monsters”
make funny faces without being caught.
Song: If You’re a
Monster and You Know It (Sung to "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you’re a monster and you know it
wave your claws.
If you're a monster and you know it wave your claws.
If you're a monster and you know it and you really want to show it.
If you're a monster and you know it wave your claws.
If you’re a monster and you know it
stomp your feet...
If you’re a monster and you know it
wave your tail...
If you’re a monster and you know it give a
roar...
