Next, give a clue for identifying one of the monsters.  Here are some suggestions but feel free to be creative.

      Road Picture:  My monster has yellow on it.  It has at least one eye and has striped legs.

      House Picture:  My monster has teeth and stripes.  It has arms.  And, you can see it’s tongue.

      Bridge Picture:  My monster has one eye. It has green on it.  It does not have arms.

Students then tell which monster you described by describing it’s position.  For the clues above they could say for the first picture that the monster is between the trees.  In picture two the monster is on top of the stump.  In picture three the monster is up in the sky.
