A Success Story!
A game that is both highly portable and creatively inspiring passes two very important criteria in my book.
Check out this super fun idea from The Toby Show—just get a few simple wood blocks (only 25 cents each from Casey's Wood Products!) and paint or collage each side with a simple, recognizable icon like a tree, house, butterfly, ball, etc. The idea is that Player 1 rolls a die and begins a story about that object. Player 2 rolls the 2nd die, and continues the story, but using her picture. And so on and so on. This would be a great waiting room game or restaurant distraction.
