This is an easy Halloween themed lesson that uses a game similar to battleship but simpler.
This is designed to practice body parts students normally don't learn. You can alter it to practice easier body parts, or to cover more of the body (ankles, wrists, etc.)
Each of your students will need a dice or a coin and a piece of paper. Give them the following directions:

Each of your students will need a dice or a coin and a piece of paper. Give them the following directions:
Roll a dice 5
times and put the results in the spaces below.
Cheeks:
___ Eyebrows: ___ Eyelids: ___ Lips:___
Nostrils: ___
Now that
you know how many of each your monster will have go ahead and draw a picture of
your monster (add as many arms, legs, tongues, etc. as you like!)
If they don't have a dice have them flip a coin 5 times for each body part and put the number of heads+1 they flipped as the number (or change the chart so it starts with zero and have none be an option).
Once they've draw their monster have them fill out this chart
Once they've done this (like the example below) have them find a partner (but be sure not to show their monster or chart to the partner.
If they don't have a dice have them flip a coin 5 times for each body part and put the number of heads+1 they flipped as the number (or change the chart so it starts with zero and have none be an option).
Once they've draw their monster have them fill out this chart
Now the students can start playing. They should take turns asking one another, "Does your monster have three eyes?" or "Does your monster have 4 eyelids" etc. The point of the game is to guess the other students monster.
Have fun and Happy Halloween!
