Rory’s Story Cubes: Let Your Imagination Roll Wild! is a fantastic way to help student exercise imaginative storytelling, problem solving, and speaking and listening skills. The kit consists of 9 cubes featuring 54 images and allows for countless combinations to be made and stories told.
There is no one way to play with Rory’s Story Cubes and there are no wrong answers. The cubes allow students to make connections, develop their literacy and tell a new story every time they roll the dice.
The game can be played alone, with each student rolling all 9 cubes and creating a story that links the images together. Or the kit can be used as a collaborative activity, focusing on teamwork and listening skills. Simply distribute the cubes among the students and take turns rolling the cubes and adding to the story based on the new image.
You can view the activity kit in person at OISE Library by visiting the Ground Floor coffee table, adjacent to the Circulation Desk. You can also view this item as well as other hands-on learning resources in the OISE Library K-12 Manipulatives Database.
