You probably know the feeling. Someone has an idea, but no one is really listening. This game is different. Here, listening and accepting ideas matter. You play a little scene with other kids. First, you decide where the story will take place. Then the game begins. Someone says a sentence. Now you listen carefully. After that, you respond with 'Yes, that's a great idea, and then...'. This shows that the idea is good and can stay. The story grows sentence by sentence. Sometimes it gets funny or even a bit crazy. Along the way, you learn something very important. Good conversations happen when people listen to each other and build on ideas. It boosts courage, imagination, and teamwork.

How it works

Together, think: Where does the scene take place? For example, at the zoo, in the swimming pool, or by the sea. One child starts with a sentence about the situation.
The next child says: 'Yes, that's a great idea, and then we do this and that...'. The story continues in a circle. Each child listens, accepts the idea, and adds their own idea.
When many ideas have been collected, the story ends. Applause for everyone! Then a new scene can begin!
