Narration cubes are a fun way to add variety to oral or written narrations.
Directions: After reading children roll the cube to see which element of the story they will narrate.
Story Elements are:
- Setting
- Characters
- Plot
- Theme
- Climax
- Favorite (the child’s favorite part of the story)
If your are reading aloud as a family have everyone take a turn rolling the cube and narrating. If only two children, you can have them go back a forth a few times narrating more than one story element.
Independent Readers: The cube works great with independent reading too. After independent reading your child can roll the cube and then orally narrate to you, or she could create a Notebooking page or written narration about the story element.
The story elements cube works well for short children’s books, bible stories or passages, and chapter books.
