One Sentence Story

beginner2+ players6-10 minutes
Favorite

Summary

It's a spin on the One Word Method. But instead of a single word, each of you adds a whole sentence. That gives you room for bigger ideas with every turn. You'll still need to listen closely to what came before, then build right on top of it.

How to Play

  • Go around the circle, each adding one sentence at a time to the story.

Required Materials

  • Nothing needed.

Purpose

You'll practice collaborative storytelling, building a tale together one step at a time.
