The Best Story

Here is another game for the car. First person starts a story--makes up the characters, place, time, whatever details s/he wants. AND only talks about two minuites.
At that point, person #2 continues the story--adding whatever details s/he wants, taking the story where s/he wants to--for two minutes. Then person #3 (or the first person, if only two are playing)continues the story. Go on trading the role of story teller until all agree the story has been told.

This game is very entertaining. You start a story line thinking you want it to go a certain way. Only the next person has a whole different idea. You gotta think quick and accommodate whatever comes to you when it is your turn!

And you need to pay attention. This is one time you miss out if you are busy thinking about what you are going to say when your turn comes.

So this game is a great one to learn listening skills, using your imagination, waiting your turn, and just relaxing. This game is also about fun. There are no right or wrong pieces to the story!
