Add-On Stories


Directions

This is a good game at the dinner table or in the car.

  1. One person starts a story and each person takes a turn continuing it.
  2. You may want to have each person add a sentence, or choose a "pointer" to conduct the story.
  3. The pointer decides who goes next and can stop a person at any time, even in midsentence.
  4. You may want to choose a topic or theme for your story, or leave it completely open and see what kind of nonsense results.
