One way is to choose really interesting articulation stories. For example, stories about magical adventures. When you read or tell these stories during speech time, it naturally makes it more engaging. You can also encourage the listeners to repeat certain words or phrases from the story to practice their articulation, which adds an element of fun interaction.
Articulation stories during speech time are beneficial in many ways. Firstly, they enhance vocabulary as different and sometimes complex words are used in stories. Secondly, they help with fluency. By continuously telling or listening to a story, the flow of speech becomes more natural. And thirdly, it can be a great group activity. People can share their interpretations of the story, which promotes communication skills and also helps in the overall development of speaking abilities.
Some free articulation stories are often related to self - discovery. For example, a person might tell a story about how they overcame their fear of public speaking. They start from the origin of the fear, perhaps a bad experience in school when they were laughed at while speaking in front of the class. Then they talk about the steps they took to face this fear, like joining a public speaking club. They can also share how they gradually became more confident, and the positive impact it had on their life. Another type could be a story about exploring a new hobby, like painting. The storyteller can describe how they got interested in it, their first attempts, the mistakes they made, and the joy they found in the process.
It enhances creativity. You need to create a story based on the rules of 'roll and tell', so it encourages you to think creatively and use your imagination. Also, it's a great way to boost confidence in speaking, as you get to practice speaking in a fun and engaging way.
I remember my first time giving a speech. I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. But once I started, I got into the flow and it went better than I expected.
There was a kind old man who lived in a small village. Every day, he would sit outside his cottage and tell stories to the children who passed by. One day, a little boy was feeling sad because he had lost his favorite toy. The old man told him a story about a magical land where lost things always found their way back. The boy was so inspired by the story that he went home with a new hope and, lo and behold, he found his toy under his bed the next day.
One fun bedtime story could be 'The Little Red Riding Hood'. It's about a little girl who goes to visit her grandmother through the forest. Along the way, she meets a big bad wolf. It's a classic with a simple yet engaging plot that can easily lull a child to sleep.

We can use dice or spinners for the 'roll' part. For example, if we roll a number, it can correspond to a certain type of articulation story. Then students tell the story, which helps improve their pronunciation and language fluency.
