Description
This is an exercise you can only do once with a group. Use the exercise to show that making stories is not all that difficult.Split the group in 2. Half of the players leave the room while you explain the game to the others: we are going to make stories in pairs. We will tell the other players that we came up with a great story, and they have to guess it. The catch is that they can only ask yes/no questions, and we do not really have a story. We will answer `no` to every question that starts with a vowel or with a conjugation of `to be` (or some other criterion). In addition, after having answered 2 consecutive No`s we will always answer a yes.
Let the other players back in and pair them up with the others. Each couple starts guessing the story, unknowingly creating a story as they go. Continue till they get it.
