Parents, grandparents, Godparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, or anyone who has children in your life whom you love… let me introduce you to A Little Story Game.
I’ve had this small deck of story prompts for a little over a week, and our girls love it. They’ve been asking to play it all week, frequently sequestering themselves in the playroom with it. Yesterday we had a very fun afternoon at a baseball game with some dear friends, and after returning home I needed to lay down briefly to try and rest through a knee-pain flare-up. I hadn’t been resting long when I heard the loudest, most genuine, belly laughs coming from our daughters’ bedroom. Unable to ignore it, I exited our room quietly and then sat silently in our living room, smiling as I listened to my wife and our three daughters in the girls’ bedroom taking turns telling stories.
This is such an excellent tool for inspiring and teaching (by showing) creativity, imagination, active listening, and positive feedback. It works by giving you 10 different options in each of 4 categories (see the second picture), with adorable cozy art to accompany each card except the Prompts. I did the math and there are more possible story combinations in this “little story game” deck than were supposedly told in “1001 Arabian Nights.” 10,000 possible story combinations, in fact.
As a new company, I hope they sell a million of these decks! I don’t know them personally, nor do I get anything from recommending this game to you except the joy of spreading it to others. As someone who considers themselves creative, that is more than enough. I paid full price for mine, even after offered a discount. It’s already been worth every dollar spent.
So this is me, making the suggestion that you grab a deck for yourself, or for a friend. I strongly suspect you’ll like it as much as I do.
Wonderful, open-ended, thought-provoking game. My five-year-old granddaughter loves it! The pictures are lovely. Customer service is quickly responsive. Definitely recommend this!
My 5 year old daughter and I play this ALL THE TIME - like multiple days a week! We have played it during play dates AND video chats with grandparents and long-distance friends and it is always a hit! Since every story is different, it never gets old! We have even built some recurring characters that continue to go on new adventures each time we pull cards for a new story! This is genuinely the best game I've ever bought for my family. We all have an amazing time playing this. This was such a GENIUS idea for a kids game! I love hearing my daughter's stories get longer and more creative each time we play, and I love how hard she LAUGHS when we get a funky card combination! :D This game is QUALITY family (& friend) time!
It is such a beautiful way to inspire storytelling and bringing everyone together. It is the perfect gift forthe family to share.
Love this! I bought it for my granddaughter who is only three years old, but she loves telling stories. So this was the perfect gift! I highly recommend it.❤️
Really nice & colorful pieces and My 4 yr old Granddaughter was so excited to learn how to make up stories
This game is ADORABLE!!! SO cozy and cute, just love it!! :-)
I gave this to my five year old for their birthday. We had a blast playing it together.
The pictures inspire creativity in a soft, sweet way. My little grand daughter and I have been delighted with our stories.
Beautiful gentle little game that I am looking forward to playing with my grandson when he is a bit older.
I love this game. I bought it for my 4 year old grandson who is very imaginative and creative. I work with below grade readers in my county. I was attracted to this game because it enforces reading comprehension skills including "who are the characters?", "where did the story occur?", "was there a problem?", "what happened first, second,, next?" and how did the characters solve the problem? Who knew that learning reading comprehension skills could be such fun! Kudos to the design team!
My granddaughter and I love this so much. It’s a great activity to spend special time together. She looks so forward to writing stories together. Highly recommend!!!
I wish there were more than 10 cards per prompt. The writers group thought they were cute and loved them for our writers prompt of the night.
Great resource that I plan to use while teaching art
Bought for my 5 yr old granddaughter. She and I love to make up stories... she has a bit of triuble with some of the prompt cards. BUt we're learning. Fun to do!
These cards have beautiful illustrations that immediately make me feel happy when I pick them up. Drawing the cards helps spark the imagination and nudges the creative juices for fun storytelling.
Absolutely the sweetest game ever
I purchased this game for my 4-year-old grandson. He prefers cooperative games over competitive games, so this seemed like something that would appeal to him. He loves it! He loves creating stories and hearing everyone else's stories, so, yes, the game is just right!
Beautiful, Thanks
This is the sweetest game - perfect to keep tucked in my purse for all those grandchild moments. My grandkids love it.
We’ve really loved starting this game! I have to say I love it as much as my son does, and it’s wonderful to create the stories together with the prompts. Very stimulating and interactive!
I bought this thinking we'd play it once... we ended up sitting at the table for almost an hour making up stories. My granddaughter didn't want to stop.
Beautifully made and easy to use. It’s one of those things you can pick up without thinking and just start.
