A round the room story..

There were not many rules to this game:
1. No names of people in the room are allowed
2. No more than 3 sentences spoken
3. The final sentence should be left half finished.
It was a step of faith on my part, I have not tried this with any group or class before. I was pleasently surprised. First with the ideas flowing and also the sense that the story made in the end. I found it a great warm up activity, particularly if you disperse the ‘not so imaginative’ students around the circle.
I would love it if you could play….
