BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Gather a few things.
This sheet and crayons. No dice or cutting needed.
One useful question
“What could they try first?”
HOW IT GOES
- Point to one character: fox, robot or cloud.
- Choose a place: garden, moon or library.
- Give your character a problem. Draw a beginning, a try and an ending.
Make it gentler
Tell the story aloud while your grown-up sketches.
Add a little stretch
Tell a second ending using the same beginning.
A good place to stop
Give the story a title.
