Less than $5 Pre-K Creative Writing Centers

Launch creativity into orbit with Outer Space Roll a Story! This imaginative writing activity takes students on an out-of-this-world storytelling adventure with space-themed characters, problems, and settings.

Contents:
With Outer Space Roll a Story, students use a dice to randomly select the characters, story problems, and settings for their space-themed story. This activity includes:

• 6 Characters: Students might encounter astronauts, aliens, space pirates, and more!
• 6 Problems: Will they face an alien invasion, get lost in space, or tackle another cosmic dilemma?
• 6 Settings: From spaceships to distant alien planets, each roll opens up a new backdrop for their intergalactic tales.
• Lined Story Paper Options: After rolling, students can organize and expand their ideas on lined paper, outlining and then drafting their unique space adventure.

How It Works:
Students will roll a dice three times—once for each story element—to build a completely randomized story prompt. With character, problem, and setting in hand, they move on to the included lined paper to outline and write their stories. This process sparks creativity while reinforcing story structure in a fun, hands-on way.

Why You’ll Love This Product:
Outer Space Roll a Story adds an exciting twist to creative writing! Students love the randomness of each roll, and teachers will appreciate how this activity promotes imagination, vocabulary building, and structured writing practice. It’s perfect for independent writing time, literacy centers, or a fun end-of-the-week activity.

Features:

• 6 space-themed characters, problems, and settings for endless story combinations
• Dice-based prompts that take the guesswork out of planning and keep students engaged
• Outer space-themed lined paper for easy story organization
• 8.5x11 pages for easy printing and classroom use
