Description

Work as a team to create one story together – the more ideas, the better. Great for online meetings!

Resources

None. Just an imagination!

"story dice" can add a bit of structure where children might be stumped for an idea.

Instructions

This activity works really well around a campfire, or as a chance to calm down after an exciting activity.

FACE TO FACE MEETINGS
> Everyone should sit in a circle.
> Someone should begin to tell a story with a short phrase.
> > For example, they could say ‘On my way to the shops, I saw’, ‘Once upon a time, there lived a’, or ‘It was a bright sunny day, until’.
> The next person in the circle should continue the story by adding a short phrase, for example ‘I saw a big green monster, who’.
> The story should keep moving around the circle and everyone should take it in turns to add a phrase.
> Once the story is long enough, the last person should add an ending, for example ‘then we went home for tea’.

SOCIAL DISTANCE ADJUSTMENTS
> Circle games often work well on Zoom, and this game is no exception.
> Creating a story together can help young people feel part of something, even if they’re physically distant.
> It’s a good idea to decide the order that people will speak before you get stuck in – people often appear in a different order on each screen on Zoom, so it may not be obvious.
> Take it at your own pace – you could try adding a single word, a phrase, or even a whole sentence at a time.
