"Remember the time..."

by for .  
5 - 203 - 8 Medium

Participants tell a story of a shared (fictional) memory, adding details one at a time to create a cohesive picture and narrative. 

16

Goal

To get everyone listening closely to one another and building on what other people have said

To give everyone an opportunity to contribute

To co-create something as a group

Instructions

The first person starts by saying "remember the time..." and introducing a shared (fictional) memory the group has of something they did together (e.g. "Remember the time we went to that street fair, and it was a really hot day?").  That person calls someone else's name, and the next person adds details. In this way, each person says 1-3 sentences, building out the story.  

Note: Instead of people calling on the next person, the order can be set ahead of time.

Other Story-telling Variations:

Word-at-a-time Story: each person only says one word.  [For this, a pre-set order is important, and it's helpful to use the prompt "once upon a time," rather than "remember the time"]
