I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Funtivity Friday - Story Telling


A fun thing to do is to take turns making up stories. Here are some great prompts for making up stories:

1) Pick out a picture from a book or a magazine and make up a story to go with it.

2) Take turns giving each other the first line of a story, and then have each person make up a story to go with the first line they are given.

3) Take turns giving each other the last line of a story,  and then have each person make up a story to go with the last line they are given.

4) Take turns giving each other a list of five words. Each person has to make up a story using the five words they were given.

5) Write down the first five words that come into your mind and make up a story using them.

6) Take turns giving each other a character for a story,  and then each person has to make up a story using the character they were given.

7)Take a line from a song, and make up a story based around it.

8) Take a line from a book, and make up a story based around it.

9) Pick out an object in the room, and make up a story based around it.

10) Arbitrarily make up a story.

Please feel free to comment below with any other ideas for starting a story.

Enjoy!
