Roll and Tell a Story: Each child rolls the cubes and uses the images they rolled to create a story in English. This activity fosters creativity and encourages language use.
Group Storytelling
Have a group of kids take turns rolling the cubes and adding to a collaborative story. This exercise improves speaking skills and promotes teamwork.
LANGUAGE PRACTICE

Encourage kids to add descriptive words to their stories. For instance, after rolling the cubes, ask them to include adjectives and adverbs in their sentences.
Grammar Focus
