Iconic Stories
Six random emojis, one story. Students build a narrative that connects all of them — then tell it live, no notes allowed.
Iconic Stories generates a CEFR-levelled story starter sentence that incorporates a set of visual icons and targets a specific grammar structure. Students continue the narrative collaboratively, producing extended spoken or written output from a shared creative starting point.
Iconic Stories is a collaborative storytelling activity. The app generates a single CEFR-levelled starter sentence that references a set of visual icons and embeds a target grammar structure. Teachers select a grammar function — Past Tenses, Future Forms, Conditionals, Modals, Passive Voice, or Reported Speech — or set it to Random; the starter sentence then models that structure in narrative context. Students take turns extending the story, each adding to the narrative while the icons remain visible as a reference and creative constraint.
