Hi this is Paul Louis and this is my assistant Haley Beth and we are going to continue now with our theatre games for kids. This is a fun exercise that you do with the kids. It is a one word story. Okay, so we showed a one word scene before and now we are going to do a one word story. The object of this game is each of us has to say only one word but we are going to make up a story as we go along. We are going to start off like this and you can do this with a whole bunch of kids in a row but we only have two here so we will go back and forth. Once, upon, a, time, there, was, a big, boy, who, was, very, stinky, and, very, fat and, he, was, very, naughty, so, naughty, that, he, went, to, a, fair, and melted, a, cotton candy; oops that was two words but you get the idea. Hey we were doing pretty good there for a while. We went back and forth with just one word. Okay so we discovered that the story was about a boy who was large and kind of nasty and went to a fair and he purchased a cotton candy. So Cotton candy is where we went wrong when we said two words but you get the idea. It’s a lot of fun. Good job.
