How to Play 5 Sentence Story

Simple storytelling in 5 steps, playable in pairs or small groups:

  1. Character and place — introduce a person and where they are
  2. Second character and routine — add someone and establish daily life
  3. Problem — something disrupts the routine
  4. Solution — how the problem is resolved
  5. Moral or ending — what we learn or how it ends

Each player says one sentence per step. This trains the fundamentals of dramatic structure.
