Rory?s Story Cubes®: Actions is the first expansion set for the Rory?s Story Cubes® range. This time we have created 54 unique icons (or picto-verbs?) that depict the most important verbs (action words) to be learned in second language development. Rory?s Story Cubes®: Actions does not require Rory?s Story Cubes® in order to use them. They can be played on their own straight out of the box or mixed with other sets of Rory?s Story Cubes®.
This review is from: Rory's Story Cubes - Actions (Toy)
I am a programming/computer skills teacher at a high school. I bought this toy to show to the creative writing teacher at my school. Before I took it to school, however, I let my children try it.
Wow! My children, ages 12, 11, and 7, love this. It has become a dinner time staple. The rules and variations that come with the game are good but the children like to make their own rules. That's OK by me. This game is adaptable to any age group.
As an added bonus, my wife loves this game, too. She says, and I quote, "it is simple, takes as much or as little time as you want, and doesn't involve an electronic screen."
A big winner for us!

Every time my daughters and I have played this game, we have just cracked up laughing! It is great to see their minds work as they come up with new ideas or a new way to tell an old story. They often choose Story Cubes as their first choice when friends come over, as well.

This review is from: Rory's Story Cubes - Actions (Toy)
As a former public school teacher and now, homeschooling mom to a 10.5 and 6.5 year old, I'm always on the lookout for fun ways to educate our children. This holiday season my older daughter asked for a book of story starters and creative writing tips. We gave these story cubes to our younger daughter with the same intent. Because our younger daugher still isn't as fluent at writing as she is at imagining, creative writing can be frustrating for her. These story cubes have added the fun back in for her. We all take turns making up a story of our own, and then, the favorite of all, creating a story together taking turns choosing the cubes.
It's a wonderful way to model story telling and allow a child the freedom of creativity without it becoming a lecture or "lesson". These 9 cubes are well worth the money they cost!
Initially I had my doubts, but now having used them, really couldn't recommend them more.
