How to play a fun chain story game with children

If you’d like to learn more fun games for children, or rather, more fun games to play with preschoolers, hop on to my other blog.

Today at dinner, we taught Tee how to play ‘create a story chain’ game. For those who suffered a deprived childhood, a story chain game is where one person starts a story that is then continued by the next person and the next and the next. This is what transpired this evening, from what I can recall from my lack of memory cells:

Story 1

Mommy: Once upon a time, there was a brown cow.

Tee: The brown cow climbed up the hill and fell asleep.

Aunty: There, he met a horse.

Uncle: And the horse said, “Get off my hill, I don’t like you.”

Daddy: So the cow said, “This is not YOUR hill. It’s anyone’s hill and we have to share!”

Mommy: The horse ran down the hill…..(my idea here was that the horse was going to call his other horse friends to come to the hill to carry the cow off, or threaten him to leave or something *smile*)

Tee: And he ran and ran till he got home and shut the door tight so that nobody could come in. The end.

At which point we laughed because Tee was making the horse imitate her own tantrums. It was interesting that she made the horse ‘merajuk'(sulk) in his own home rather than solve the problem in another manner. I’ll need to have a chat with her about that!

Story 2

Tee: Once upon a time, there was a turkey. The turkey and the bumble bee were playing and playing and playing in the bumble bee’s house.

Aunty: Then the turkey said, “I’m really here to buy some honey.”

Uncle: And the bumble bee stung the turkey!!! The turkey went “OUCH!!! Why did you do that???!!!!” (aiyo, this uncle….always so hostile!)

Daddy: And the bumble bee said, “Well, it’s really alright to get a sting the day before Thanksgiving….” (and we all burst into hysterics again)

Mommy: *pause* (brain not working) *pause* And then, and then…..the turkey fainted. (then Tee asks in a whisper, “What’s Thanksgiving, Mommy?”and I replied that it was a celebration to give thanks for everything and they usually eat turkey on that day)

Tee: THE END!! (we burst into hysterics again unsure if she took the easy way out unable to continue the story or if she really meant the end for the turkey!)

Try it, my dear readers. It’s fun!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
Show your support and spread the love!
