Monsters Up!

Hey there, little monster friends! Are you ready for a fun adventure? Let’s go on a magical trip with the Super Monsters!

Off to Ciudad Monstruo!

Everyone is excited to visit a special place called Ciudad Monstruo. They all shout, “We are ready!” and hop into the magical bus called Grrbus. Grrbus is super cool and can zoom really fast!

Meeting Vida’s Family

When they arrive, Vida introduces her friends to her grandpa, Papá JosĂ©. He is very friendly and says, “Welcome!” Vida’s friends are Albert, Frankie, Zoe, and her cousin Lobo. Everyone says, “Hi!” and they are happy to meet Papá JosĂ©.

Exploring the Magical Place

Vida shows her friends around the magical place. It’s full of fun and adventure! Everything is protected by Calavera Magic, so they are always safe. Vida hopes they can meet her other friends, Nacho, Pepita, Fuego, and Jackie, who have had many adventures there.

Getting Ready for the Parade

Vida and her friends are excited to decorate a float for the DĂ­a de los Muertos parade. Vida decides to make colorful papel picado banners. Frankie is in charge of the sugar skull balloons, and they all agree that twinkle lights are a must because everyone loves them!

Working Together

Everyone has a special job to do, and they work together as a team. They sing a happy song about working and playing together:

♪ Here with my friends ♪
♪ Working together we have fun ♪
♪ Come give a hand ♪
♪ That is the way we get things done ♪
♪ Working together ♪
♪ We’re Super Monsters, here we come ♪
♪ Growing together ♪
♪ We work and play, that’s how we get things done ♪

Finishing Touches

Vida is still thinking about how to finish the dance for the parade. She encourages Albert, who is a great dancer, to come up with something amazing. Everyone is excited to see what he will create!

And that’s the end of our fun adventure with the Super Monsters. Remember, working together makes everything more fun!

  • What do you think it would be like to visit a magical place like Ciudad Monstruo? Can you imagine what kind of adventures you might have there?
  • Vida and her friends worked together to prepare for the parade. Can you think of a time when you worked with friends or family to create something special? What did you make, and how did it feel to work together?
  • Albert is a great dancer and is creating something special for the parade. What is something you are really good at, and how do you like to share it with others?
  1. Create Your Own Magical Place: Gather some art supplies like paper, crayons, and stickers. Ask the children to draw their own magical place, just like Ciudad Monstruo. Encourage them to think about what makes their place special and safe, and who they would invite to visit. Once they finish, have them share their drawings with the class and explain why their place is magical.

  2. Teamwork Challenge: Divide the children into small groups and give each group a simple task, like building a small tower using blocks or creating a paper chain. Emphasize the importance of working together, just like Vida and her friends did. After completing the task, discuss how teamwork helped them succeed and what they learned from working with others.

  3. Parade Dance Moves: Just like Albert, encourage the children to come up with their own dance moves for a pretend parade. Play some music and let them express themselves through dance. Afterward, ask them how it felt to create something new and how they can use their creativity in other activities.
