Hello SLD Forumers! Here is an absolutely disgusting resource for you for which I cant apologise enough. It is a stomach churning Sensory poem about a hideous little cretin called Sydney who saves up all his (and his relatives) snot to make a real life bogeyman. No, we're not talking Shakespeare here folks, just good, old fashioned goo and mucus and a really bad gag at the end. Coupled with this, we have a switch based 'Build your own Bogeyman' activity which is as disgusting as the poem (and as much fun!)

So, unleash your inner snot and download the stuff (1.9mb) by clicking the picture of Sydney below.

STUFF YOU NEED: First off, you need a sense of humour (but you've already got one of those or you wouldn't be a teacher, right?), next you need either PowerPoint XP or PowerPoint viewer which you can get free from here.

The font I used in the PowerPoint was 'creepy' but I can't find it for free on the web any more, boo!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELLING THE STORY!

When telling the story you should start by getting the students comfy then say the first student's name before reading the first line, then have your willing and evil assistant to perform each sensory stimulation. Say the next student's name, repeat the line and have your henchman/henchlady perform the dastardly deed on them and so on. This heightens the anticipation and structures the session nicely. Sorry to patronise people, but I have seen sensory stories done badly and it's a waste! Most of all, have fun with it.
