Story dice
Free · no ads · no accounts
“What do I even talk about?” is the reason a speaking task stalls, and three pictures on the table is the shortest way past it. Roll the dice and the class gets a cat, a bridge and a storm; the story writes itself out of the argument about how they fit together. Any die can be rolled again on its own when one word kills the idea, the words come from the same picture bank as the games, and every roll can be read aloud in English for the children who need to hear it first.

Tap a die to roll just that one. The padlock keeps a die through a new roll.
💡 How teachers use it
- 🌼Three dice, two minutes, one story per pair — then each pair tells theirs.
- 🌼Roll from the topic you are teaching so the story recycles today's ten words.
- 🌼Turn on names and let the dice decide whose turn it is to add the next sentence.
❓ Questions teachers ask
Can I choose which words appear?
Yes. Pick any topic from the list and the dice only draw from it, or leave it on “a bit of everything” for a mixed pool. Opening the tool from a topic page loads that topic's words automatically.
What if one of the three words ruins the story?
Tap that die on its own and it rolls again, keeping the other two exactly where they are. The new word is never one of the words already on the table, so you always get three different things to connect.
How many dice work best?
Two for the first attempt and for very young children, three for most classes, four when the group is fluent enough to need a challenge. A topic with too few words simply shows fewer dice rather than repeating a word.
