Did you have a go at making a Scribble Monster or two after Monday\u2019s post? (It\u2019s here<\/a> if you missed it.) If you did, you may, like me, have found it strangely addictive, and ended up with a whole bunch of monsters\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the collective noun for a group of monsters? A roar? A scare? What do you think?<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m now surrounded by Scribble Monsters. Which got me thinking about creating a story about them. Why don\u2019t you have a go? And don\u2019t forget: I\u2019d love to see anything you do \u2013 you can email it to petarainford@gmail.com<\/strong>, post it on my Peta Rainford\u2019s Facebook page @dogpigeon<\/a><\/strong>, or Tweet me @PetaRainford<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

12: Create a story about Scribble Monsters (and you don\u2019t have to write a word, unless you want to!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of different ways of creating a story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Tell it! <\/strong>Talk about the characters and the adventures they might have ( you could video or record the story, if you like)<\/li>
  • Draw it! <\/strong>As soon as you draw in a background behind the Scribble Monsters, you start telling a story about where they live and what they are doing. Or you can create a more detailed narrative, by creating a cartoon strip<\/strong><\/li>
  • Write it!<\/strong> Writing could be anything from single words – labelling a drawing, for example – to speech bubbles in a cartoon, or the more flowing narrative of a \u2018traditional\u2019 written story<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Whichever way you decide to create your story, you might like to think about the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • What are the monsters called?<\/li>
    • What relationship do the monsters have to each other? Are they friends? Enemies? Strangers? Members of the same family? Or something else?<\/li>
    • Are they goodies or baddies?<\/li>
    • Where do they live? Maybe they live on a mysterious planet, with a mysterious name. Maybe they live in the fluff under your sofa. Maybe they live next door to you\u2026<\/li>
    • What language do they speak?<\/li>
    • What adventure will they go on?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These are just some broad-brush ideas for creating a story. I will look at some of them in more detail in future posts. Have fun with your story making – and do please feel free to share your creations with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
