Christmas Roll a Story = Festive Fun!

As the famous song says… It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not only does the Christmas season bring joy, happiness and goodwill to all, it also brings plenty of opportunities for developing your students’ creative writing skills. 

Teach Starter’s Christmas roll a story activity has been designed by our team to help your students develop their writing skills while also getting into the holiday spirit. To play, students roll a die to generate unique story elements such as characters, settings and events. For example:

• Characters – Santa and Mrs Claus, elves, snowmen (and more!)
• Settings – the Noth Pole, Santa’s workshop, a school (and more!)
• Events – a present is lost, a reindeer goes missing, Santa’s sleigh crashes (and more!)

Designed for easy classroom use, this no-prep Christmas Roll-a-Story worksheet saves teachers valuable time during the busy end-of-year season while keeping students engaged and excited about learning.

How to Use This Christmas Story Dice Game

This Christmas story dice game is easy to use when you know how! Just follow these simple steps to get your students rolling and writing exciting Christmas stories:

1. Students roll the die. They match the number rolled to a row on the chart and see which story element is in the ‘1st Roll’ column. They then write that element in the corresponding blank at the bottom of the page.
2. Time to roll again! Once more, the student matches the number to a row on the chart to see which story element is in the ‘2nd Roll’ column. Again, they write this element in the corresponding blank at the bottom of the page.
3. Students continue in this manner until they have all five story elements: a main character, an additional character, a time, a place and a problem.
4. Students plan, write, edit and publish a narrative text that includes all of the story elements they have rolled.
