How to Play “Make a Monster” Game

1. Children will have 5 minutes to create a monster using the provided supplies. They will have fun even if it is just the play dough, but the additional supplies make for even more creativity.
2. When kids are done, have an adult volunteer come around with a tray and collect all the monsters.
3. While another game is being played a judge can choose the Most Creative, Scariest, and Silliest Monsters. At the end of the next game, award prizes and show off the winning monsters. Let kids take home their creations in a baggie.
