Description: Your English learners will develop speaking and writing skills with these fun storytelling games with six different fantasy and adventure themes. The students will work with a partner to invent a story based on a random selection of pictures. Each Boom deck includes approximately eighty colorful illustrations of characters, places and objects. The following themes are included: adventure, detective mystery, fairy tales, pirates, superheroes, and witches and wizards. 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 and save their work, or audio-record the stories and listen to the result. Use the typing option to practice written conventions like spelling and punctuation, or try the audio-recording option to build oral fluency. Please note that, due to privacy regulations on voice recordings, only typed stories can be saved and reviewed by the teacher at a later date.
