GET THE PEOPLE TOGETHER

The one-word story studio

Build a wonderfully strange story together, one word at a time.

15 min3–10 playersAges 6+

Here’s how to play.

  1. Choose three friendly ingredients such as a lighthouse, a sandwich and a dancing penguin.

  2. Go around the group, adding one word each to create a sentence. A player may say punctuation aloud or pass.

  3. After three sentences, pause and decide together where the story should go next.

  4. End with a final sentence that solves the story’s tiny problem. Give the tale a title and, if everyone agrees, write it down.

A little help: Agree to keep the story kind and avoid turning another player into the joke.
