Creative Story Writing with Symbol Cubes

A complete lesson or unit of work linked to Creative Writing for SEND, EYFS, and KS1 children.
Children roll the Story Cube dice and use the resulting symbols as prompts for storytelling and writing.
There is a step by step planning sheet with suggestions on how to make, introduce and use the Story Cubes in lessons.
There are 7 colour Story Cube templates: Story element cube, What, Where, When, Who, Where, Date and Feelings cubes. These can be cut out and assembled into dice.
An additional resource shows 3 creative stories to share with children which utilize story element symbols:

1. The Prince and the Little Squirrel
2. The Big Fluffy Monster and the Special Day
3. Eli the Elf and the Shiny Dragon
   Story cubes can be an invaluable resource to engage children in narrative creation, regardless of their reading or writing ability.
   The cubes introduce a sensory element to learning, which can be particularly beneficial for SEND children, helping them to communicate ideas and emotions through storytelling in an accessible manner.
