Roll a Story & Picture Story Prompts Generator

Print free story-writing pages for ages 5–11. Roll a die to pick a character, a setting and a problem from a chart; write a story that uses every picture on a strip; cut and fold a story cube; or plan a beginning, middle and end. Pick a theme, primary or ruled lines, and add a checklist or a 4-point rubric.

One die is all you need. Kindergarten and Grade 1 can roll, circle and tell the story out loud; older children write it on the lines.

ProblemWhat goes wrong?
a class pet rabbit
at the school play
the rocket has no fuel
a brave chipmunk
on a sledding hill
the show starts soon
a waddling penguin
on the moon
the magic wand breaks
a funny bus driver
in the music room
the river is too wide
a wise queen
in a warm cabin
a big race is starting
a chatty parrot
on the school bus
the crown is missing
My character
My setting
My problem
