Story Cubes

* A set of nine picture dice are rolled and students are asked to create a story inspired by the pictures on the dice.

Once a boy named Little Foot had an idea.  He wanted to live in a big city, but instead lived in a teepee in Egypt – he could see pyramids in the distance.  He was also great at magic so he scheduled a show and showed the audience magic; he moved dice without touching them -  everyone loved it.  He won money and moved to the city, but hated it . . . and for him, the key to happiness was home.

Lila was a Native American who didn't have as many privileges as the other girls.  She would always get the broken arrows.  What made Lila so different was that instead of hunting, she liked to paint.  She painted people, animals, flowers, rainbows, and all sorts of things.  Another thing that made Lila different was that she only had one hand.  All of the other girls thought that she was weird and gross.  Lila couldn’t do what all the other girls could, so she liked to read.  Since she didn’t have an arm, she had to walk with a cane to keep her balance.  The other girls often took and stole her cane and broke it.  Little did they know, however, that with all the broken canes Lila was making a bow and arrow specifically for her disabilities.  The next month they were having an archery competition.  When it was Lila’s turn all the girls laughed and sneered, but Lila was focused.  She drew her arrow and hit her target dead-center, everyone was speechless – and from the center of her bull’s eye erupted a beautiful fountain.  Lila was never seen as different again.
