Description

We tested this one out at game night, initially thinking that a storytelling game for young kids couldn't possibly be that entertaining, right? Wrong! We dove into one of the four variations of the game and as a team, created a round-robin story involving an angel at the North Pole, an octopus farm, a boy who sells his toys to buy a bike, a trip to the moon (and a meeting with an alien), and a cleaning robot. Basically, you get over 200 cards (characters, objects and animals), six double-sided scene cards for a total of 12 scenes, and instructions for four different games to play (each of which can be easily adapted to fit the players' abilities). This is one that would work as well for creative writing and speaking activities in school as it would to just play for fun!

Alex was happy. Mom said he could ride his pet hippopotamus to school today. But something was wrong. The crossing guard was missing. Instead there was an astronaut directing traffic. How strange! Then all of a sudden"
