Tell a story one fragment at a time, only knowing the start and the end.
Setup and Format
- Whole group. Start with two players at either ends of the stage. The rest start at backstage.
Two people stand at either side of the stage. One is given the first line of a made up story and the other is given the last line. The lines should have a few specifics in them and should be totally unrelated.
The job of the rest of the class is to slot in anywhere along that line and say a sentence that fills in a bit of the story. By the end, each person will have a added a sentence that means the story as a whole gets from the first to last line and makes a sense with no loose ends. They don’t need to go in order and we can hear the story so far at any point.
