Silly Story Playing Card Center Mat

All Freebies

I love to use playing cards in my math centers, but have you ever used them in your playingcardmatsillystoriesfreebiewriting centers?  Here’s a way to do just that:
 
Silly Number Stories – For this activity, you will only need the number cards – remove face cards (K, Q, J) from the deck of cards and set to the side – the Ace remains and counts as 1. Students will “draw” cards to put on one of the story maps, giving students silly guidelines on what needs to be in their story leading to creativity and critical thinking (ie. 5 cats, 1 grizzly bear, 2 unicorns and 1 bowl of soup). Students will then take what the cards have determined and write a story using that criteria. Grab 4 different story guideline mats for FREE from Google Docs.
