T
he oldest child chooses a
fi
gure then turns over the top card on
t
he stack. He or she then be
g
ins to tell a stor
y
that combines that
t
he chosen
fi
gure with that card (example: i
f
the
fi
gure is the “boy”
a
nd the card is the “ball,” the story could be “Bobby
f
ound a ball on
t
he pla
yg
round. He wanted to pla
y
soccer.” One or two sentences is
e
nou
g
h. The card is then placed
f
ace down in
f
ront o
f
the selected
playing
fi
gure.
Moving in a clockwise direction, the second child turns over the next
c
ard and continues the story that the
fi
rst child began. Then the second
c
hild
p
laces his/her card face down in front of the fi rst card.

Note:
W
hen there are four face down cards in front of the fi rst fi
g
ure, a
second
fi
gure is chosen and a new story is begun. A
f
ter there are

our
cards in

f
our cards are used to tell a

of
the game begins. The youngest child starts and rolls the color die.
T

fi
rst
card in

f
the child wants,

g
ures, the
g
ame is
o
ver. The child with the most cards wins. If multi
p
le children have the

f
cards then there is more than one winner
!

Options for younger children
T
he game can be made easier with the
f
ollowing additional
ru
l
es:
• Just use one
fi
gure (no color die necessary)
• Choose up to
f
our card
s
• Just one stor
y
is told instead of three
