Creature Features: The children were given grid paper and colored square tiles. They had to use 15 tiles to create a creature. Then they colored in the tiles with the matching color. They were then given a sheet on which they had to name their creature, write the number of each color tile they used, and write a description of their creature. At that point, groups got together and put all of the creatures in the center. Each child in turn read the description of the creature and the others had to choose which one matched it. This activity teaches spatial visualization, following directions, counting, comparing, deductive reasoning, and writing descriptions. The children has fun using their imaginations!
