Oral traditions create and keep cultures and civilizations existing through time.
We will be playing the classic Game of Telephone, drawing on paper and sharing stories.
Needed Materials: 4 Prompts, 4 Blank Index Cards, 16 Blank Papers, each per table group.
Every student will be assigned a prompt on what to draw. Do not share it!
Draw what's written. Hide the prompt.
Pass the drawing to the next student, and they must write a prompt of what they saw.
Pass the prompt to the next student. Keep it hidden. Repeat drawing and prompting writing four times.
Lastly take time to share your stories with the other kids in your table group.
Pick one student to present and three students to hold up prompts and drawings.
Then each group will share what they've created. As a story.
Students who fail to join the Game of Telephone will be required to read a line from the story out loud or not receive credit for the project.
