Mix-It-Up Storytelling
ages 3-6
Activity Detail
This is a great activity for long car rides! You and your child (or children) take turns adding to a story. The parent begins by saying the first line (e.g. 'Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to go the circus. And then one day when she went the craziest thing happened...'). Each storytelling participant then takes turns adding to the story. This is a great way for older children to learn how to create and follow a narrative -- and it's very silly fun!

I love this activity! As a teacher, I used similar activities to teach my students ways to develop their creative writing. What great, lifelong skills to start in young children!

This would also be a good, basic activity for those long wait times!

This would be a great activity to do with a variety of different aged children.
