I love using the Monster theme in the preschool and kinder classrooms. I incorporate Speech and OT.
There are so many fun ideas and activities.
You can pair with the OT centers to make your centers a language rich experience.
We did Wet, Dry, Try with the letter M- for Monster, then we made monsters with play dough and made fun monsters using add-ons like buttons, straws and other $ store items.
M- make the m sound with the kids, talk about words that start with the m sound and explicitly describe how to make the m sound (putting your lips together, etc.).
Play Dough- make the monster and describe what they are doing- you put the eyes in the middle, you made a mouth at the bottom, just explain what they are doing using concepts. Remember- don't ask questions, model what they are saying.

And I also use my Monster Sort Freebie as a language center.
Here is a fun song to pair with your Monster Theme.
