Monster Under the Bed

What if the monster under your bed only wanted to ask you for help? Write a story about it.

This story starter helps children address fears and practice empathy by personifying a classic childhood fear. Children can explore the idea that not all monsters are scary or bad, and the circumstances under which the ‘monster’ lives could reveal an engaging, imaginative narrative. Not only does it involve a good sense of suspense, but it can also cultivate kindness, understanding and compassion.
