Introduction
Objective
Learners get in touch with their creative impulses and understand, in practical ways, how collectively we can create stories if we listen carefully to one other.
Activity: A story, one word at a time (5 min)
In a circle, the story is started with each person in turn adding one word. It usually starts with ‘Once-upon-a-time’. The idea is for learners to keep their thoughts free-flowing so that they don’t try to guess what is coming, or force the story in a direction. Encourage learners to pay attention and listen carefully to what is being said before them. It is not always easy to maintain a logical flow for the story. Do the exercise twice.
