Wild Monster Drawing Game

Tame those wild things with step by step, directed drawing activities in elementary! Use my wild monster drawing project to teach visual texture. Imagine these silly monsters in your hallway alongside a writing prompt. The roll a dice game makes perfect last minute emergency art sub plans, too!

Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop! 

Art integration in the classroom is an effective way to reach and teach all students. 

A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose implied textures to draw on their monster. The included monster template makes drawing easy. Moreover, it’ll boost their confidence and creativity. 

And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan art activities based on Where the Wild Things Are. 

What’s Included

I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this wild monster drawing activity. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:

  • Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
  • “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
  • Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
  • Printable dice template in case you have no dice
  • Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
  • Wild Thing monster template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
  • Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing visual textures
  • 2 Writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
  • 2 Coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize

Ways to Use My Wild Monster Drawing Art Project in Elementary

This Wild Things project is flexible and can be used in many ways throughout your classroom or art room and beyond. It’s great for maternity or emergency art sub plans, early finisher activities, and even for virtual art class or an after-school art club.

  1. CARLEEN V. –

    Love this book, and used it as a follow up to consolidate the element of texture in our drawings. Students loved how their final product was changed by the simple roll of the die, making each student’s wild thing unique to them.

  2. Shelby Simms –

    This was a perfect resource for my elementary music classroom!

  3. Melissa S. –

    My high school students loved creating the monsters. Great resource!

  4. Ami Biggers –

    The students loved this activity and it brought out their creativity!

  5. Lynda M. –

    I just recently used this resource for visual arts. My students loved the spinning wheel and where to apply the different lines on their wild thing creature. They turned out very nice and so colourful.

  6. Melissa K. –

    My students loved this project and showing it off was a great resource for my elementary

  7. Samantha B. –

    My students loved this! They loved the different aspects of the “monster” that they created and that none of their monsters were the same. The writing was challenging enough for the students to think creatively but also easy enough that they could do it independently.

  8. Learning with Lea (Teacher-Author) –

    This was so fun! I highly recommend it! I loved the scaffolding within it.

  9. Jessica Rowe (Teacher-Author) –

    They loved it, tied it into Where the wild things are

  10. TWO GIFTS – ROOTS and WINGS (Teacher-Author) –

    I purchased this product to use with my first grade class, but covid hit and then I became an instructional coach so I haven’t actually used it. I do like that it encourages students to be creative with textures when they create their Wild Thing!

  11. The Enterprise Chair (Teacher-Author) –

    The kids creating the monster and loved that they had to roll the dice to create it!

  12. Julia Alwine –

  23. Rikki C. –

    The students are going to love this! Thank you!

  24. Judy S. –

    The teen students of an after school special needs program delighted in completing this project as part of Halloween celebration. We read the book by Maurice Sendak, then played the dice game to practice different texture techniques. Using their results in texture, the students chose crayon with the ÒWild ThingÓ template and finished their project with water color. The game with texture techniques can be played in the future to enrich other projects. At some point, the writing exercises may also be incorporated as a student choice. Differentiation was a plus as the studentsÕ abilities in this program vary widely.
