Why do you need this?

This is such a simple activity that can be utilized in so many ways!

• Have your students write a paragraph about why they chose what they did.
• Have your students move from one side of the room to another when making their selection to incorporate a sensory/movement break into your day.
• Have your students find a new friend who picked the same thing they did, or pick a partner who didn't pick what they did and have them discuss why they chose their answers.
• Have your students debate over why one choice is better than another; make sure they defend their answers (and keep it friendly).

This set contains the following:

⭐️ The Yo-Ho-Ho Irregular Verbs Board Game (14 pages)

Kids absolutely love this pirate themed board game! First, select the irregular verbs you wish to practice. Next, let the first student roll the specially designed ''skull dice'' to select the number of steps they can take on the board. As soon as they set foot on their island, search the treasure maps to see which irregular verb needs to be used to make a sentence. Now roll the ''form dice'' to find out which form (infinitive, past simple, or past participle) they need to use in their sentence. Use the included writing sheet to have them formulate a sentence. Finally, award points for the quality of the written sentence, either by using the given point system, or by coming up with your own, and write them down on the score sheet. Keep playing until one of the players reaches Treasure Island, and declare the winner!

⭐️ 100 Irregular Verbs - List (5 pages)

This list features the 100 most common irregular verbs, divided into groups of 20 words each. The words are displayed in alphabetical order, and show the infinitive, past simple, and past participle of each irregular verb.

The previously mentioned pirate theme is not featured in this document, so it can by used for any occasion.

• Pre-Filled Roll a Monster Story Board
• Editable Roll a Monster Story Board
• Story Planning Board
• Vocabulary Page
• Writing Pages
• Editable Rubric in Google Sheets

Directions

Step 1: Roll the Dice

Begin by rolling the dice to determine the key components of your story. Use the chart below to match each dice roll to the corresponding element for your story. Record your results:

1. Monster Type (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Dragon, etc.)
2. Monster Appearance (e.g., Glowing red eyes, Slimy, Multiple heads, etc.)
3. Monster Power (e.g., Telepathy, Fire-breathing, etc.)
4. Monster Weakness (e.g., Bright light, Water, etc.)
5. Story Setting (e.g., Haunted mansion, Spaceship, Ancient cave, etc.)
6. Plot Twist (e.g., The monster is friendly, The monster needs help, etc.)

After rolling, students will have a list of elements to include in their story.

Step 2: Plan The Story

Now that students have their monster’s characteristics, setting, and plot twist, they will take a moment to brainstorm how these elements will work together in your narrative. Students should think about:

• How does the setting affect the story's tone or mood?
• What motivates your monster? What challenges will the monster face?
• How can the plot twist surprise or change the direction of the story?

Create a brief outline, if needed, to help organize your ideas.

Step 3: Write The Story

Using the elements from their dice rolls, students begin writing their story. They should make sure their narrative has a clear beginning, middle, and end. As they write, students will focus on the following:

• Incorporate all of the rolled elements into the story in a meaningful way. For example, if your monster has a weakness to water, this should play an important role in the plot.
• Use vivid descriptions to bring your monster, setting, and events to life.
• Develop your characters (including the monster!) by giving them motivations and emotions that will drive the story.
• Remember the plot twist—use it to surprise your reader and add depth to your story.
