OT FUN at Home
Does anyone out there have the games “Tell Tale” or “story cubes”? If the answer is no, then no need to worry, you can make your own! All you need is a magazine (in my case, I used my Martha Stewart Living) and a pair of scissors and you too can make writing fun.
With either Tell Tale or story cubes, the idea is to pick some pictures at random and then come up with a story. The story can be absolutely ridiculous, or it can be more serious. Either way, it sets up a nice invitation to write a short story.
To play with magazine cut outs, simply turn all the pictures over and mix them up so your child doesn’t know what’s what. Then you can either come up with a number together, or roll dice, and turn over the corresponding pictures to the number. Now you can write a crazy story incorporating all the pictures!
Stay safe and enjoy!
