Ever wondered how a book would turn out if 10 people wrote its story? Well today we're going to find out! Let's practise our writing skills with this fun game: the book chain! In order, and one at a time, you will write one small paragraph (30 - 40 words) for each story below. When you finish with one, go to the next one until you've added your part in all of them. At the end, we will read them out loud together and see what outrageous story you've comed up with! Please bear in mind that a story has to have 3 parts: 1. Beginning: introduction of the story, characters, setting... 2. Middle: a problem arises and how the characters try to solve it. 3. End: how the problem is solved. Let's go!
