A good game to introduce a storytelling activity – and to get energized after lunch! – is “paper telephone”
Ideally 5-9 players (odd number best) per group. Each game begins with a sentence written on the top of a piece of paper. The sentence is passed to the next player, who draws a picture in a futile attempt to depict the sentence. They then fold the paper so that the sentence is no longer visible, and pass the paper to yet another player, who must write a new sentence based on what he or she thinks the picture is showing. Then this third player folds the picture out of view and passes the sentence on to another player, so repeating the process. The game is over when the paper is filled up, but note the game should always ends on a sentence, not a picture. (Can be found here: http://www.thegamegal.com/2011/06/18/paper-telephone/)
