This is a great book for teaching parts of the body and colours in French. A fierce looking monster gradually appears and then disappears until he is not so scary after all. The vocabulary is simple and the meaning of the book is clear even to the littlest learners!
The picture below could be used as a listening exercise where pupils colour as the book is read aloud, or else they could choose their own colours and write about their picture or describe it orally.
Here is a simple version of the presentation that can be used for oral work practising parts of the face and colours.
