How to use these lesson plans
This lesson plan packet contains the following:
Book list
1-page weekly lesson plan grid o Alternate weekly grids for 4 day, 3 day, and 2 day programs
5 daily lesson plan sheets
2-page centers explanation
Printables
Use the Book List to stock your classroom reading center and choose which books
you’ll read aloud during the apple theme.
The 1-page weekly lesson plan has ideas for center activities, read alouds,
whole group lessons, small group math lessons, small group science lessons, and small group literacy lessons.
The alternate lesson plan sheets are perfect for creating your own plans if
you teach a 4-day, 3-day, or 2-day preschool program. Simply grab the items you’d like and arrange them to the calendar that’s best suited for you. These sheets are editable – so you can type in the dates, days of the week, and activities. You can also just print the templates and handwrite your plans.
The daily lesson plans delve into the specifics of each lesson idea. Materials are
included along the top of each daily plan. The days of the week and dates on these sheets are editable.
The centers explanation has more information about each center activity. There
are 2 to 3 ideas for each center. Some teachers keep the same activities in each center for an entire week, while others like to change the activities a couple times a week.
You can pick and choose the activities that suit you and your classroom best. For example, maybe some of the small group ideas would be better done during your whole group time. You may decide to use some of the small group ideas during center time. Even though the plans are listed as one week, there are really enough activities to encompass an additional week or two if you incorporate non-themed activities.

Whole Group Activity Small Group Literacy
Descriptive words Brainstorm words that would describe a monster. Encourage the children to think outside of the box for words to describe friendly monsters (if they’re focused only on scary monsters). Ask open-ended questions as needed to
prompt ideas.
Monster words Brainstorm a list of action words that monsters do and a sound that goes
with each (stomp/boom, creep/shhhh, yell/screech, etc.). Write them down to sing in a fun song for the rest of the
week.
Small Group Science Small Group Math
Exploding monster bags [Best done outside!] Draw monster
faces on gallon-sized Ziploc baggies. Add enough vinegar to each baggie to fill it 1/4 to 1/3 of the way. Add food
coloring or liquid watercolors if desired. Seal bags 3/4 of the way,
leaving a little gap. Add a baking soda pouch (a tablespoon of baking soda
wrapped in a piece of paper towel) to the bag, seal quickly, shake, and toss
on the ground.
Shape monsters Print, cut out, and assemble the shape
cube for this activity. Child rolls the cube, using each shape that appears as a prompt to create a monster. She can draw the shapes herself, or use
the shapes printable pieces.

healthy choices charts.
Discuss the terms “nutritious” and
“healthy”. Work together to
brainstorm foods that are nutritious.
Record these foods on paper or the
printable sheet. Brainstorm foods
that are not nutritious, and record

Monster Houses Print out the monster house letter mats.
You can either laminate the mats or
place them inside plastic sheet
protectors so they last.
Print the corresponding monster pages
out. Cut the monsters apart. Laminate
them for durability.
Children sort the monsters to the
appropriate houses based on the initial
letter sound of each picture.
You could also use the houses with small
toys or items that start with those letter
sounds. The monster cards could be

Monster Color Mats Print out the monster color mats. For
durability, either laminate the mats or put
them inside plastic page protectors.
Gather items that match each monster
color mat. These could be small toys or
office supplies. To merge literacy with
math, use colorful magnetic letters.
Place the colorful items in a basket or
tray. Children go through the items
and sort them onto the
appropriate monster mat based
on color.
Alternatively, use the
printable color cards for this
math activity. Simply print,
cut, and laminate those
cards before use.

Monster Number Mats Print out the monster cards, cut them apart, and then laminate them

protectors, if that’s easier for you.
Print out and assemble the number cube(s) you’d like to use along
with this math activity. Use a small piece of clear tape to secure the
cube(s).
With the pre-numbered mats, the children read the number
and add the appropriate number of googly eyes.
Alternatively, they could use a dry erase marker to draw
on the eyes.
With the “Monster Math” unnumbered mats, children roll
a number cube. Then they add the correct number of
googly eyes (or draw the eyes). This could be made into
a dice game between two children, as well.

Feed the Monster Create a monster to feed for the “Feed the
Monster ABC” and “Feed the Monster 123”
activities.
Creating the monster can be done multiple
ways:
• Use a shoe box, construction paper,
and recycled materials to make the
monster. Be sure to cut a hole where
the mouth is. Children will add the
correct items into the mouth.
• Print out one of the following monsters,
tape it to the front of a shoe box, and
cut out a mouth. Children will add the
correct items into the mouth.
• Print out and laminate one of the
following monsters. Then
simply place the correct
items on the laminated
monsters.

Monster Munchies If desired, print out the following picture
cards. (Some of them start with /m/ while
others don’t.) Cut the cards apart and
laminate them for durability. The pictures
included are bear, zebra, dice, milk, mitten,
monkey, pumpkin, sun, rainbow, moon, mop,
and mouse.
Have the children pretend to be monsters.
If the picture starts with /m/, the children can
say "Monster munches ________,
/mmmmm/" to practice the sound M
represents.
This can also be done with toys or other
items that start with /m/. Be sure
to include items that don’t
start with /m/ so the children
can practice differentiating
beginning sounds.

Monster Letter Cards Print out the letter cards, cut them apart, and then laminate
them for durability. They can be used in a wide range of early
literacy activities:
• Practice alphabetical order by placing cards in order
• Print out multiple sets, and then use the letter cards to
make names and sight words
• Pair the cards with a sensory writing tray – children can
practice writing letters, using the cards as a guide
• Match uppercase and lowercase numbers
• Use the letter cards with the “Feed the
monster ABC” activity, while working on
identifying/producing letter names and
sounds
• Place out during independent time for
children to explore on their own

Number Cubes Print out the number cubes you’d like to use for various
monster theme activities. Fold along each of the lines.
Assemble the cubes and secure with a piece of clear
tape.
These number cubes can be used along with the monster

Shape Monster Making Print out, cut, and laminate the shapes and the monster shapes. Print
and assemble the shape cube (no need to laminate the cube). Secure
the shape cube with a piece of clear tape.
Children roll the cube, choose the appropriate shape, and place it out
on the table. They keep rolling the cube until they’re happy with the
shape monster they’ve assembled.
This activity could also be done using shapes drawn on
construction paper, or shapes already cut from construction
paper. This way, the children could glue down the shapes,
add googly eyes, and put up their art.
Alternatively, print and laminate the basic shapes. Then
children could use them as templates to trace and cut
out on their own.
