How to play
Before you start: Write six characters on one list, six places on another, six problems on a third. Number each one to six.
They roll the first die — that is the character.
Roll again for the place, and again for the problem.
Start the story yourself with one sentence, then hand over.
Alternate sentences. Accept whatever they say, however strange.
Roll once more halfway through to add a surprise.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Draw the story afterwards as a comic strip.
- Use toys as the characters and act it out instead of telling it.
Cleanup: Keep the lists — they work again next week.
