Create your own Monster Game Free Educational Resources

As the days draw shorter and the afternoons darker, we start to spend more time indoors. It is a wonderful time year to spend time together crafting, playing, chatting. So we got together with the lovely people from Learning Resources (a website dedicated to educational but FUN ideas for kids) and have created a fun, creative Monster Game for the Christmas seasons. It isn’t just any old monster game.. but a “Beaker Creatures” game. Based on their fun Beaker Creature characters, you get to make your very own monsters!!

What patterns will your Monsters have? How many arms and legs? Does it get to wear a Santa’s hat… to find out, you will have to play! Come on.. let’s Build Your Own Monster today!

This is how you play the Build Your Monster Game

There are lots of different parts in this pack to help you create all sorts of silly monsters! That of course is the fun part! And there is not better way to let your kids’ imagination run wild…

  1. First, of course, you need to download the printable!
  2. Place the ‘Monster Map’ and ‘Monster Game Checklist’ in front of you and roll the dice for the first time! On the map you will see that all little monster balloons have a number! The monster with the number same as your dice will be YOUR monster!
  3. Very important thing to do now: Tick off part A on your Checklist!
  4. Roll the dice again and decorate your monster with the pattern that goes with the number your dice shows. Hint: Check the Map – there is a windmill! Get your favorite colours out and turn your monster into a colourful one.
  5. Tick off part B on your list!
