Roll a Silly Sentence as a Story Starter or Just for Fun

Rolling a silly sentence is a great activity that you can take a lot of different ways and that doesn’t require a lot of setup.

Royal Baloo has the printables you need to play roll a silly winter sentence. You make dice with the silly phrases on them and use a printed sheet to line up the dice to make the sentence.

Just rolling the dice and reading the funny sentences is enough, but you could also use this activity as a story starter.

Have your child write or draw the story or scene that results from what they rolled. Or they can just tell you the story. Or you could start with one roll, go until they can’t think of more to say, then roll the dice again and have the story take a turn.

Do you play roll a sentence games? I’d love to know how you would use these storytelling dice!
