What are some fun creative writing activities for students?

Here are a few engaging activities: 1) Story Cubes - use dice with images to inspire stories. 2) Character Creation - have students invent characters and write their backstories. 3) Collaborative Storytelling - each student adds a sentence to a story. Would you like more details on any of these?

I love the idea of Story Cubes! How do you play that?

Story Cubes are simple! Each student rolls the dice and must create a story using the images that appear. They can work individually or in groups. It's a great way to spark creativity and encourage storytelling. Would you like tips on how to facilitate this activity?

Yes, please! What tips do you have for facilitating Story Cubes?

To facilitate Story Cubes, start by explaining the rules clearly. Encourage students to think outside the box and not overthink their stories. Set a time limit for storytelling to keep it exciting. You can also have them share their stories with the class for feedback!

That sounds great! Any other creative writing activities you recommend?

Absolutely! You might also try 'Found Poetry' where students create poems from existing texts, or 'Picture Prompts' where they write stories based on a photo. Both are excellent for sparking creativity!
