Bogeyman 101 Visits Mary Johnston School  in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada!

Great kids and teachers made my visit fun! We learned about writing stories, including "beginning, middle and end," main characters, setting and what the problem in the story is. We also learned that bogeymen aren't scary at all!

Just see what the JK, SK, 1, 2 and 3rd graders created for their personal bogeymen.

My bogeyman lives in the mountains. He has only been seen once. He swoops down only when people are disobeying. HIs name is Spooky.

My bogeyman lives in the sun and it is fiery. He can be dangerous.

This is a 3 headed dog. It eats mermaids and fish and magical unicorns. To stay safe you have to be in the light or drink unicorn blood. He lives in a magical world. He comes out when the moon is full.

My monster is big and giant. He lives in a house and a cave. He has special glasses and sees through mountains.

This is the 25 eyed snake. It can sting 13 people at a time. Its name is Scale.

My monster’s name is Charsar. My monster’s cave is in the woods. You stay safe if you don’t go near his fence.

My monster is a snake. He eats people and mice.

Once upon a time there was a vampire who lived in the forest. It was night when the vampire struck out. He looked for blood. He found a house and he used his magic to make it disappear. He took the children to his house They were on his magic broom when an arrow struck up and hit the broom. They fell, and the vampire disappeared.
The End

Once upon a time there was Jojojogo Gogo and Biggo. Two new people came. People said not to go in the water but the two new people went swimming. Just then the two monsters ate the two new people.

Once upon a time there was a Daddy, and he told his son not to go out at night. One day the son went out at night and the creepers chased him and killed him.

His name is Monster Mountain. He lives on the mountains. He’s nice. When little children aren’t listening, he blows ice cold wind on them. That’s the end!

Once upon a time there was an alien squid. He went after houses that were close to him. If a house was covered with hard diamonds, it would be too hard to eat.

Once in the forest there was a vampire wolf. Nobody went into the forest, especially kids. (Because the vampire wolf ate kids). Then two new kids cane to town. Everyone told them not to go in the forest. But the kids didn’t believe in monsters. So, one time they went in. They looked all around for the vampire wolf but they couldn’t seem to find him. They got lost. But then right before their eyes, the vampire wolf jumped out. They ran until they came to a dead end. Then something zipped past them. It was very bright. The vampire wolf was gone. The light was gone. They found their way home. They sat down and told their parents about their adventure. They lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time, there was a bogeyman. He loved to dig rocks. That’s my monster!

Once upon a time there was a bogeyman named Large Mouth. He eats boys because he has too many girl friends. Boys have to stay under the light of light bulbs because that’s the only way they are safe. They eat all men, even if they are in the light. But they won’t eat Scott because his ancestor was a Large Mouth.
Evie

Once upon  time there was a big bad monster.

Bewer the Snow Bogeyman

My Imagination of a Canadian Bogeyman
My Canadian Bogeyman is really strong, he can absorb the sun and shoot it back at you. All weapons just go through him, but the boomerang. In my imagination, the Canadian Bogeyman can walk on snow; he can also turn new ice into old ice when you are skating on it or something close to that. He has the power to turn snow into ice or ice into snow. My bogeyman is immune to the cold. He can give frostbite and turn invisible. My bogeyman can turn his fur white to black or black into white. He has a blue face, an orange and red neck, green arms and two purple legs. He is the world’s strongest and toughest bogeyman, but there are two ways to stop him. You could throw a boomerang and hit him, or if you are wearing blue, he will run away.

One time there was a boy and he did not like the bogeyman. He had dreams about him so he could not go to sleep. But, he was tired. So he went outside into the forest. He heard a noise. So he tried to get out of the forest. He got caught by the bogeyman and then it started raining. So the bogeyman used his powers to get the boy, but the boy had good powers, too. So then the bogeyman got hot, and made fireballs. There were fireballs and iceballs. The bogeyman ran away and never came back to bother the boy.
So all the children were safe, but the people did not know that a boy had beaten him. 

The people did not know that there was also a bogey lady and her name was Mlle McManus. Mlle McManus was a nice bogey lady, so the whole world was safe. So the world did not have to be saved anymore.

Govadio is a rare kind of bogeyman you might see up north in Canada. He only comes out in winter when it’s five degrees under zero or colder. He makes tunnels under the snow to travel without being seen. His weakness is light because he is half vampire. He likes to eat anything that’s made of snow or ice. He has little minions called trolls. They can disappear into thin air if you touch them. Govadio can live up to 200 years old. Govadio can also be found living in tree trunks or underground in summer, fall and spring while the trolls live on tree tops. Govadio gets the name Govadio because he’s part goblin and “va” stands for vampire and “dio” is just a name I made up. He changes every day. When he’s mostly a goblin he is a trickster that likes to steal candy and when he is mostly vampire, he comes out at night and likes to bite nocturnal animals to drink their blood. If you get closer to a Govadio than 5 feet, he will suck your blood, if he is mostly a vampire. If he is mostly a goblin, then you will be ordered to stop and told to hand over all your candy.
