The Storybook Game

The Storybook Game

This game would be fun (and easy) to make on your own.  Students take silly pictures (one card at a time) and make them into a story.  Here was the K story today.

Once upon a time there was a singing violin who ate an apple.  Then he used a rope to tie up a pig.  He met a piano, being played by an alligator.  The alligator ate a fish....

The story started to become disjointed here so we discontinued the game but the idea is that the students are practicing their speaking by retelling a self-created story.  Also, like Mad-Libs, the stories can get pretty funny! There are 54 cards in all so this game could be used at all elementary grade levels and for all levels of English Learners (EL).
