Monsters Inc.: Describing People (Monsters)'s Physical Appearance

This movie is great and this scene is excellent for the students to practice describing people, but this time describing monsters. It is even more fun than describing people and you can use all the vocabulary taught.













A. Write down the characteristics we use to describe people under the correct verb column. To Have or To Be.


HAIR

EYES

FAT

THIN

SHORT

TALL

CHUBBY

SLIM

ARMS

LEGS

HEAVY

MEDIUM-BUILT


Answer key:

To Have:

He has ...
(Hair, Eyes, Arms, Legs)


To Be:

He is ...
(Fat, Thin, Short, Tall, Chubby, Slim, Heavy, Medium-Built)


B. Watch the movie segment and then describe the monsters below, using the words in exercise A. Make sure you say, for example, how many eyes, legs, arms the monsters have and their colors too.





C. Draw a monster. Be creative. Don't show it to anyone.
D. Describe your monster to a partner. Your partner draws what he/she listens.
E. When you both finish, show each other the original monster and the monster your friend drew, based on your dictation. Check how similar they are.
