Palmer Language Blog Rory’s story cubes | dejuf's TEFL blog I love my sets of Rory’s story cubes. Here are some ideas that I have tried out so far: Logical order: Organise the stones in a logical order (logical mathematical intelligence) or sort them into categories, that pupils invent themselves (animals, objects, nature, etc.) and explain One minute speeches: Use the stones as speaking prompts for one minute speeches (one die per pupil) Pass the story: Build a story by giving each learner a die to throw and start, continue and end the story. When I discovered and bought a new set of 9 dice from Rory’s story cubes: voyages! Reporting: You could have students report on a day/week by having them throw the dice, organise them chronologically and then have them tell what they did this past day/week. These were just the first few ideas with the new dice before having used this new set in class. I’m curious to hear your ideas to use these wonderful cubes! Like this: Like Loading...
