How the game continues
- Choose the hero.
- The adult says the first sentence.
- Take turns adding one sentence.
- When you want to finish, the child gives the final sentence.
You are done when
The child says the final sentence. If the child does not want to, the adult finishes.
If you get stuck
If you get stuck, choose one helper: an animal, a vehicle or a magical object.
More rounds
- The child says the first sentence and the adult the last.
- Each sentence may have at most five words.
- Retell the same story with a funny ending.
Safety
The child stays buckled in. The driver does not take part. Stop the activity at once if the child feels sick or uncomfortable.
