I thought it would be fun to give the cubes a roll and see what story popped out.
I give you... The Tale of Sir Belwin, The Daisy Knight
Once upon a time, on a rainy night so cloudy there was no moon, a masked man found a castle with the gates unmanned and locked. He pounded the iron portcullis with his sword for a long time before a pale white hand waved at him from the window above.
"Cease the clangor, man! What do you want here?" a reedy voice called from above."My name is Sir Belwin, The Daisy Knight. I seek shelter in your tower, my lord. The flood has washed away my tent."Everyone knew the Daisy Knight to be fair and handsome, not one to hide behind a mask."The Daisy Knight, you say? Be gone with you. Or I'll send out my man and you'll be pushing up the daisies."
After a day of editing, this was a welcome distraction. I think I'll keep these little babies close. :)
Does a different story appear for you?
omg! That is the coolest thing ever! First, I love your little story of the Daisy Knight, but now I want to get story cubes! *runs off to check that link* ... :o) <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! Isn't it fun? I saw while I was looking for that link that there is an iPhone App as well. Pretty cool. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have to find these for myself and my daughter. That's a great toy and tool for us to work on something together. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI've used RSC for a couple of years. I keep a pack in my knapsack, which goes just about everywhere with me. I have found use for them in classrooms as well as to just make up a story. It's great on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteMieke - We found them all over the place this year, I am sure they are on amazon.
ReplyDeleteStu - I thought they were the newest thing around! I've never seen or heard of them before. Not surprised to hear that you've got a set in your bag of tricks!
