Jumpstart creativity and spark story magic with our Roll An Adventure Worksheets, the perfect Book Week 2025 activity for playful storytelling! Inspired by this year’s theme, Book an Adventure, this engaging worksheet uses a simple dice roll to generate fun and unexpected narrative elements, guiding students to craft their own one-of-a-kind adventure tales.

Students roll a die to determine their main character, sidekick, setting, and plot twist, then use those elements to build a unique story. The activity promotes student agency, supports structured narrative development, and builds writing confidence in a gamified format that’s perfect for reluctant writers and enthusiastic storytellers alike.

Whether used as a quick write, story starter, or Book Week celebration activity, this resource offers a fun and flexible way to develop writing skills while celebrating the adventure of books and stories. Great for whole class, small group, or individual work – every roll launches a new journey!
