Task 3:

Roll the cubes and then link all the pictures together through a spontaneous story. Begin with ‘Once Upon a Time’ and tell a story that links all the Dice images together. Start with the first image to grab your attention. Use three cubes for the beginning, three for the middle, and three for the end of the story if using the 9 dice. There are no rules to this game. Most importantly, there are no wrong answers!
