Description:

Have you ever used Story Cubes? It's a set of dice with pictures in place of numbers, and you make up a story based on the dice pictured. It can be challenging, but it can be fun too. :)

This swap will be International, and you will have 1 partner. This will be a very lightweight swap to mail, so this will be a type 2 swap, but we can also explore the option of an email swap, if anyone is interested.

Pictured above is a set of 9 pictured dice. Choose a minimum of 6 of those images to include in a short story for your partner. (Please highlight or underline the pictures you choose). The story doesn't need to be very long, and it will depend on how your ideas are flowing. :) Your story can be typed or neatly handwritten.

The pictures I see are:

Flower

Tower or high rise building/skyscraper

die or dice

phone

key

house

pyramid

sheep

bee

If you see something else in the picture, that's fine, just note it, ok? :) This is supposed to be a fun and creative challenge. :)

Be sure to note the swap name and your swap-bot ID in the swap. Decoration is, of course, up to you.

You can start on your story before the sign up deadline. This swap is not profile based.

If you have any questions or comments PLEASE SEND ME A PM and I will do my best to explain. :)

And, If you are watching this swap before you sign up, please comment below! IT will help me to see who is interested in the swaps. :)

Thanks!

Watching with a 99.999% (basically if nothing life shaking happens to prevent me) chance of signing up.

Also, I looked up this game on Amazon, can I add some more of the pix I could see on the dice there? In hopes you'll say yes:

Lock Turtle Speech Bubble Scales (like the scales of justice, not bathroom or dragon scales) Lightning Bolt Question Mark Tree Airplane Flashlight Open Book Fish Hot Air Balloon Flower

Okay, so you may want to limit options, I don't know, and if so, I'll edit this and erase the list, but I didn't want to say I'd do it and then not, so...Up to you!

The pictures will change with each round of the swap. If I can get my own pictures to actually SHOW UP in the swap picture :( then I'll post my own at some point. BUT! For now, we can start with these. :) That picture is just a Google Images search to get started.

Just watching for now until it gets closer and I know how life is going....

Watching until I get back from vacation. :)

Oh I get it. The goal is to limit it! Makes sense. Apparently I can’t edit my message. So if you read it, consider it a teaser for what might show up in future swaps

Watching...we have a set of story cubes. My 9yr old son loves using them for story prompts!
