Cards Cards - I Can Monsters

Building children's skills and social competence
A set of 24 loveable monster character cards especially designed for young children to reinforce learning and safety. Each card or sticker features the words "I can..." and focuses on what children can do rather than on what they can't. Many very successful early childhood programs have been built around these cards. Great fun while building that precious "I can" attitude. Parents and teachers watch those competencies grow!
• Select a card that says what you are already good at.
• Choose one you want to learn more about for a week/month.
• Notice what your students or children do well. Acknowledge them with the appropriate card or sticker.
• Ask children which friendly monster they would like to invite into the classroom/kitchen/bathroom/lounge room today. Create a collage/painting with them around that theme.
• Ask young children to sit in a circle. Each person picks a card and demonstrates how they do the action shown on the card.
• Which cards would you pick for your mother/ father/friends?
