Description: Your fourth-to-sixth-grade students will develop speaking and writing skills with this fun storytelling game. "Story Tiles: Fairytale Edition" is perfect for a thematic unit on fantasy and fairy tales or simply for kids who love knights, castles, princesses and dragons. In this game, children work with a partner to invent a story based on a random selection of pictures. The Boom deck includes approximately eighty colorful illustrations of characters, places and objects that could appear in a magic-themed story. Students can then type or audio-record their story, referring back to the picture cards as needed. Each image has an optional word label for students who need extra support with spelling and vocabulary. This activity works well in both ESL and ELA classes. Play the game with your English learners to develop their speaking fluency and vocabulary, or use it in your English Language Arts class for a fun creative writing lesson. This activity is a great way to introduce or practice the writing process. After developing their ideas with a partner, your students can type or audio-record their stories. Use the typing option to practice written conventions like spelling and punctuation, or try the audio-recording option to build oral fluency.
