Story Starter Blocks

I had some plain wooden craft blocks left from another project and decided to try something fun.  I have been trying to come up with creative ways to teach my son to write.  We are having lots of giggles with these.

I used 9 blocks, and painted them in three different colors. 

On one color I wrote a noun. These are the words I used, but be creative with whatever you like.

policeman, gorilla, Grandma, birds, mom, dinosaur, farmer, monster, my pet, king, pirate, clown, fairy, Dad, octopus, superhero, baby, teacher

On another color I wrote verbs. These are the verbs I used:

rode a bike, slips on a banana, drives a bus, reads a book, dances around, milks a cow, jumped on me, swims underwater, rides a pony, sings a song, jumped rope, eats candy, flys an airplane, plants a garden, paints a picture, saves the day

On the third color, I wrote places:

at the zoo, at the park, in the garden, on an airplane, in the barn, on the moon, at the beach, in a castle, in a rainstorm, on a ship, at the circus, in a tree, in outer space, in my bedroom, in candy land, at a pet shop, at home, at the garbage dump

They roll one of each color and make funny sentences, or really great story starters. 

Here are some of the silly sentances we made:

An octopus jumped rope at the garbage dump.

The King drives a bus at the beach.

The Monster rode my bike in a rainstorm.

The Superhero eats candy in outerspace.

Have fun!
