Bring out the Halloween spirit in your classroom with this Roll a Monster Story resource. Perfect for creative writing activities, students roll dice to craft unique stories while meeting writing standards. This resource is ideal for 5th-12th grade!

What's Included

• 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.
