#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

After reading The Colour Monster story, your class will further explore the emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, fear and calm. They will look at how each emotion makes them feel, and what it might make them do, as well as strategies for managing their emotions. In the final lesson, children will choose a different emotion and write an extra section for the book.

Each of these five ready-to-teach 'The Colour Monster' lesson plans include an engaging slide show for the teaching input, as well as differentiated activity ideas and printable resources. Please be aware that, for copyright purposes, we are unable to provide the full text for this scheme of work. Extracts are provided where appropriate.

#Lesson1ExploringEmotions

In this first lesson, children are introduced to the book, 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas. As a class, they will discuss the events in the story, as well as the different emotions the Colour Monster feels.

In their independent activities, children are challenged to identify emotions according to the colour of the monster, and write a short explanation of why he might be feeling each one. The alternative activity tasks children to sort given scenarios according to what emotion they would evoke.

An easy-to-follow plan, an engaging slideshow for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources are all included in this 'The Colour Monster' lesson plan pack.
