We received Rory's Story Cubes as a gift this year. We already had these, but I wanted to sing their praises and will be happily re-gifting these!
The story cubes are a set of 9 six-sides cubes with different pictures.
You roll the cubes and then tell a story based on what you see. There aren't really rules, the cubes are just a "help" in being imaginative.
We've played where the cubes are rolled and each person works on a story one cube at a time alternating with each cube. We've also played where a person has to tell part of the story with everything that they rolled and the next person rolls all of the cubes again and continues with the story.
Most recently, we had a Benjamin Franklin themed time with the cubes. Each one of us rolled and we had to talk about Benjamin Franklin based on the cubes that came up. (I knew that there was a picture of a key and a picture of a lightening bolt so those were easy. A turtle kept coming up during this session and we were concluding that he did not study sea turtles, but you never know.)
I would like to incorporate these more into my homeschool writing assignments. We struggle with writing, and I hope that we can maybe use the story cubes to get some more creative writing done!
They come in a fun package too which is always good for containment and transport! The box says 8+ for ages. Adults can even have fun with this one!
If you are in Rolla, these were at Rolla Toy and Book and here's the link to Amazon. (I do not get any commission from this link.)
