Welcome to Story Dice Switcheroo – the ultimate tool for sparking creativity and peer collaboration in any classroom! EMC² Learning’s newest resource collection brings storytelling to life through endless combinations of themed dice that are ready to roll right in Google Slides. With a collection of over a dozen variations like Winter, Ninjas, Pirates, and Outer Space, each edition features 56 unique themed icons that can be mixed, matched, and swapped out on the fly, giving you millions of possible story combinations per resource!
Dozens of Themes. Millions of Combinations.
Say goodbye to time-consuming setup! Each Story Dice Switcheroo resource is a fully editable Google Slides template that can be adapted for any subject area and grade level. Simply select whichever themed collection best suits your lesson plan, and you’re ready to roll! Teachers can easily add their own prompts and choose different dice icons to focus on themes relevant to current lessons or to encourage open-ended storytelling. Then click the “share” button to provide your students with a fully editable slideshow of their own and watch your classes’ creative storytelling powers go to work.
With over 10 million unique combinations in each collection (we did the math!), Story Dice Switcheroo empowers students to explore a world of possibilities each time they roll. Whether they’re piecing together how your current unit on Euclidean geometry connects to a winter wonderland adventure or navigating the unexpected ways that the American Revolution is actually a whole lot like another famous battle that once took place a galaxy far, far away, every story becomes a fresh challenge that inspires deeper thinking, imagination, and self-expression. Storytelling has never been so fun, flexible, and dynamic!
Here’s a sample student work product from a high school classroom that’s using the classic Story Dice Swicheroo template collection to review what they’ve learned about William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Give a click to the slider bar and drag it from right to left to see how easily the default template can come to life with student-created content that’s tailor made to fit your lesson plan!
Plug-And-Play Peer Review Built Right In
One of the most exciting features of Story Dice Switcheroo is the built-in peer review exchange feature that we’ve built right into each template. After students roll their Story Dice and create their own tales, they’ll swap slides with a partner for thoughtful, encouraging feedback on their creative use of the random images they’ve used to craft their content-recapping tales. This playful twist brings new energy to peer interaction and helps students build essential critical thinking skills while boosting engagement.
And the best part is? This same playful pedagogical tool works just as well in an AP literature classroom as it does in a room full of third graders learning a thing or two about science and nature.
Story Dice Switcheroo is more than a resource – it’s a bridge to higher engagement and deeper learning, accessible to students of all skill levels. By giving students choice and encouraging collaborative review, this tool transforms classroom storytelling into an inclusive, high-energy experience that every teacher can use to bring new life to their lesson plans.
