how to play
1
One person begins
They say the first word they can think of that feels like the start of a story. For instance 'Once'.
2
A second person continues
Another person quickly continues the story by adding a single word to the sentence, for instance 'upon'.
3
Players take it in turns
Continue the story in this manner, for example: 'Once- there-was-an-enormous-doughnut-called-Barbara' etc. until it gets too ridiculous to continue.
4
Start another story!
Sometimes it gets ridiculous too quickly, so just start another one!
