Dice

**History **
Use the blank blocks bought at crafting stores (approx. $4 for 20 of them). Write WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHY on the sides of one block. Write the names of battles on the sides of a different block (for instance, WK = Battle of Wounded Knee; LBH = Little Big Horn; SC = Sand Creek).

Have the students gather into groups and take turn rolling the dice. If he/she can provide the correct answer to the question posed on the rolled die, the student earns a point. The other members of the group determine if the answer is correct or not.

**All Content Areas **
Use Rory's Story Cubes to encourage students to create a story based on the pictures on the dice rolled. They can relate it to the specific content area and/or speak it in the target language (ex: Spanish). Each student takes turns adding to the story using one of the pictures on the die.

Use two different colored die (ie red and blue) to practice verb conjugations Create a sheet with a list of 6 subject nouns/pronouns and assigned to one die Create a list of 6 verbs and assigned to the other die This activity can be used to practice any tense/mood and any kind of verb.

1. In pairs, or teams, students roll BOTH die - the blue determines the subject (or verb), the red, the verb (or subject) 2. Student(s) must correctly CONJUGATE the verb to match the subject.

For Example: to practice "go" verbs in Spanish (decir; hacer; tener; salir; poner; traer)

1= Susana y José 2 = Martín <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">3 = Nosotras <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">4 = yo <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">5 = Luisa y Ud <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">6 = Tú <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">and <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">1 = decir <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">2= hacer <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">3 = tener <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">4 = salir <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">5 = poner <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">6 = traer

I roll the die and get a 3 and a 5. let's say we're practicing present tense I have to conjugate TENER in the "Luisa y Ud" form. would end up with EITHER Luisa y Ud TIENEN or Luisa y Ud TENÉIS (vosotros)
