DR. SEUSS STORY BLOCK GAME

February 15, 2015 by madincrafts 4 Comments

Dr. Seuss Story Block Game

Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) was a magnificent storyteller, partially because he was so good at letting his imagination run wild!  Since the anniversary of his birth is coming up I wanted to make a fun craft project that would encourage my kids to be imaginative storytellers too.  This is a simple project that turns Mod Podged blocks into a Dr. Seuss story block game.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE STORY BLOCKS

materials

I used some of my color blocked colored blocks to make this project, but any blocks will do.  You could even upcycle some old toys that your kids don’t use anymore.  I also used outdoor Mod Podge because it is so durable, but if you are worried about kids putting the block in their mouths you might want to use the kids Mod Podge instead. 

These are all affiliate links, if you make a purchase (of anything from these retailers, not just these items) after clicking through, I will earn a small commission. Ads and affiliate links are the way I am able to keep this website running and to offer you free tutorials all year long. Thank you so much for supporting me and Mad in Crafts!

HOW TO MAKE DR. SEUSS STORY BLOCKS

seuss

 

You can use any Seuss clip art you can find online for your blocks.  Just make sure you have a mixture of characters and images that can portray verbs or other nouns.  Resize the images so that each one will fit on a side of one of your blocks.  Print them out, trim the excess paper off, and Mod Podge the images to the blocks.

 

HOW TO USE THE STORY BLOCKS

When you play the game, let the children decide what each image represents.  For example, the picture in the top row, second from the right could represent “sit,” “scared,” “mistake,” “yell” or any number of other words.  You will be surprised at what kids will come up with!

 

Dr Seuss Story Blocks

To play the game, just have the kids take turns rolling the blocks like dice.  Then they should take those three images and use them as the basis for a story.  This group of pictures could turn into a story about how the Lorax and Thing 1 and Thing 2 went on a car trip to Disney World!

 

 

Mod Podged Seuss Story Blocks

This roll could turn into a story about Fox in Socks inviting Horton over for Thanksgiving dinner.  Each roll will be different, and each story will be unique to the child.  It is really entertaining to watch your children become storytellers on the spot.

If you want to expand the activity, have the kids act out the story afterward, write the story in a journal, or paint a picture of the story’s plot. 

DIY Story Block Game

 

Use this game at home, in the classroom, or on long car trips.  Just have the children roll the blocks into a bowl or box, so the blocks don’t get lost under car seats.
