5. Group Storytelling - The Rules of the Game:
The goal: create a fabulous tale – together!
Write your name on the back of your paper.
Everyone starts with “Once upon a time…” Fold that line over so you can’t see it, then you add another line to the story, wait for the call-out to pass, and then pass to your left. Next storyteller reads, folds over, then adds a new line.
The story continues in this fashion until your paper comes back to you!
Hello everyone, welcome to our second cohort day. Today is a relaxed overview etc, please participate and add in your own expertise.
