How to Play the Game - Story Circles
There are as many ways to build group stories as there are kids on the planet. When you’ve tried all of these, see if your group can make up a new version that they’ll want to play again and again. To begin a chain story, one person starts with a conditional sentence (something that starts with the word “if”), such as “If my bike gets a flat, I’ll have to walk.” The second person picks up the second half of the sentence and adds something of their own, like “If I have to walk, I’ll take my dog.” Then the third, “If I take my dog, we can get ice cream.” Keep going until you get bored, or until everyone has had at least two chances to add to the story, then start again with something new.
