With Halloween approaching this Friday, get some inspo from other teachers who are having fun with our new activity, Beware the Finance Monsters!, which gives students a chance to get creative and design and decorate a classic monster, with a financial twist.

1. Use AI for Ideas

In the FinLit Fanatics Facebook group, Anne-Marie L. said, "I was worried that my students wouldn't be able to come up with their own ideas. Luckily AI came to my rescue and created more monsters. I thought I'd share with the group. I will have my students pick one out of a hat."

See the thread and her document of monster ideas here.

 

2. Make the Monsters Digitally

Since I'm in a Computer Lab, we did digital ones, said Ryan N., Computer Technology & Personal Finance Teacher. Here is one of his student-submitted works.
