Colours and feelings

We have found this wonderful story that you will surely like. It is based on the book The Color Monster, by Anna Llenas. It tells us about a monster that is feeling bad and confused because it has a great hubbub of colors. That's because he also has a lot of confusion of feelings. We can help him by ordering his colours so he learns to recognize his feelings.

yellow = happiness (felicidad)

blue = sadness (tristeza)

red = anger (enfado)

black = fear (temor)

green = calm (calma)

After putting each feeling in a diferent jar, we can look them more closely.

Happiness shines yellow like the sun. (La felicidad brilla amarilla como el sol)

Sadness is gentle like a blue rainy day. (La tristeza es suave como un lluvioso día azul)

Anger blazes red like fire. (El enfado arde como el fuego rojo)

Fear is black like the night. (El temor es negro como la noche)

Calm is quiet like the trees. (La calma es tranquila como los árboles)

Watch and read the story carefully several times. It doesn't matter that you don't understand all the words. Anyway, you can check the ones you want in this online dictionary.

Finally, to practice the vocabulary of colours and feelings, do these activities: here, here and here.

My monster

Do you like my monster? Your task today is to draw, color and describe your own monster. First, if you feel like it, go over the body parts here and here.

Put your creativity to work and draw your monster at the top of a page. It can have two heads, one eye, two arms, feathers... Or it can have one head, four eyes, whiskers, two wings, three tails, scales... As you wish!

When you finish your drawing, write the description of your monster at the bottom of the page. Follow the previous model:

• First write the name you like and then describe the head.
• After that, describe the body, arms, legs... Remember to indicate the number (one, two, three...), the color (black, blue, yellow...), the shape (long, short) and the size (large, small) of the body parts.
• Finally, you must indicate what your monster can or cannot do.

When you have your drawing and description ready, with the help of dad, mom or someone else, take a photo and send it to this email.
