Story telling is the basis of most writing. A terrific way to help your kids come up with creative ideas is to try the Never Ending Story. We have had lots of fun with this at the dinner table, on long car rides and as a family before bed. Be careful! You never know where your crazy kids will take the story!
Never Ending Story
Tell a story beginning with “It was a dark and stormy night…” Have each family member or friend contribute the next episode.
Try different starting sentences like…
On a lonely road, with a large no trespassing sign …
When he opened the tiny letter …
The night the door slammed …
What is the craziest thing your kids had you “do” in a story? Let us know!
