Review: Imagidice

In our ongoing quest to nurture the "narrative spark" in our daughter, we’ve found a truly delightful resource in Imagidice. While it may look like a simple set of dice, it is actually a comprehensive engine for oral storytelling. Each die features a variety of unique icons, and the included manual provides a thematic guide for what each image represents. The premise is wonderfully straightforward: you roll the dice and weave a cohesive story using the results. Whether you are collaborating on a single epic tale or taking turns as solo narrators, the staggering number of combinations ensures that no two adventures are ever the same.

Our daughter has taken to this game with immense enthusiasm, largely because it grants her total creative sovereignty. She has a natural penchant for the whimsical, often crafting hilariously elaborate scenarios that keep the whole family entertained. On the flip side, she is equally captivated when it’s our turn to narrate, listening intently to the stories we construct from our own rolls. We have officially integrated Imagidice into our weekly homeschool schedule, typically engaging in a few rounds once or twice a week to keep her imaginative muscles flexed and ready.

As an educator, I see immense value in this tool for long-term linguistic development. As she matures, I anticipate her storytelling will grow in complexity, moving from simple anecdotes to sophisticated narratives with developed characters and plot arcs. Because of this scalability, I plan to keep Imagidice in our curriculum rotation for several years to come. It’s one of those rare resources that remains fresh and challenging even as the student’s skills evolve, making it a high-value investment for any domestic library.

The portability of the set is also a major "pro" for our family. The dice are housed in a compact box, making them an ideal "travel resource" for road trips or long waits where a bit of creative distraction is needed. I’ve found that games like this are essential for developing confidence in public speaking and verbal articulation, all while the child remains convinced they are simply playing. It is the quintessential example of "stealth learning" at its finest.

If you are looking for a way to encourage your child to step into the role of a great storyteller, I unreservedly recommend Imagidice. It is a fun, versatile, and intellectually stimulating addition to any social studies or language arts block. I’m curious to know—do your children prefer to tell serious tales, or are they like mine and always aiming for the biggest laugh? Let us know in the comments below!
