Instructions

Everyone should split into groups.
The person leading the activity should give everyone a copy of the ‘Roll and write’ sheet and a pen or pencil. They should give each group at least one die.
The person leading the activity should explain that the key ingredients of planning a story are deciding on who, when, where, and what.
Everyone should take it in turns to roll the die to choose who will be the main character in their story. They should circle (or note down) which number they roll – and which character it gives them on the ‘Roll and write’ sheet.
Everyone should repeat step four for each of the other categories to decide when their story happens, where it happens, and what the main plot point is.
Everyone should get into a comfy space – it’s up them whether they want to go it alone or sit near someone so they can share idea.
Everyone should get creative and write a short story (600 words is about right) that uses the plan the die gave them. They should think about how they’ll link the who, when, where, and what into a story.
Once they’ve finished their stories, everyone should sit back and read it through. They can make any small tweaks – sometimes it’s easy to miss a mistake in the excitement of writing.
Everyone should share their story with someone else. Once they’ve both shared their stories they should discuss the plots – however random they were.
