Lesson:How are you, Monster?

This is like a variation on "What's the time, Mr Wolf" practising "How are you?" and adjectives.

Procedure

 * 1) Students line up on the "safe wall" (teacher in the middle)
 * 2) Students are told they want to get to the other side because there's a sweet shop with all the lollies they can eat.
 * 3) BUT - there's a monster in the middle (the teacher)
 * 4) Ask, "What's the monster's favourite food?" - answers will come in. Then tell them, "Little girls and boys." are the favorite food!
 * 5) The monster will only let people through if he is happy, "OK." "Good." "Fine." etc. If he is hungry, he'll eat you -- and you must run back to the 'safe wall'. [If Monster tags you before you reach safety, you are "eaten", become a monster and join the monster in the middle?]
 * 6) "How do we check the monsters mood?" answer="How are you, Monster?" (Fake a few, "I'm sorry." to get them louder.)

Example

 * Students (initially on safe wall)
 * "How are you, Monster?"


 * Monster/s
 * "I'm OK/good/happy/great/etc." (Students can take one step forward.)

Repeat, until,
 * "How are you, Monster?"
 * "I'm HUNGRY!" (All the kids run back to the "safe wall" while the Monster/s try to tag more monsters.)


 * [B, do tagged/eaten kids turn into monsters in this scheme?]
