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!
Creative!!!
Arrived on time. Bought as Christmas gift so still not opened or used
I purchased this card game for my granddaughter for Christmas. Her mom is so excited to try it out as part of her homeschooling program.
This is a really fun activity with littles. I have my granddaughter (3 years old) pick one of each card and we make up a story. Sometimes she asks for a particular character. Lately she’s been asking for two characters and she makes up her own stories. You can do whatever you want with it!
I’m hoping for an expansion pack in the future. Please?
I saw these on an influencer blog I follow and ordered right away for my grandkids for Christmas. They are so cute and I can’t wait to play it with them.
My grandson who is five absolutely loves this game. He’s learning so much vocabulary and different concepts and thoroughly enjoys creating new stories every day with me. It’s our special time spent together and he’s so imaginative. What a great idea this was and I’m so glad I bought it. I’ll definitely recommend it to others.
Pretty expensive for the quality and amount of cards. This could easily be a lower price point
It gave a unique twist to our storytelling and got the girls involved! They each took turns telling their story!
Played this with my 7 year old great-grandddaughter and the stories went from funny to serious to silly. And she learned new concepts like curiosity and patience, among others. This a great game for imagination and fun.
Way too much money for a tiny card game
This is based on the idea behind this game/activity. I bought it as a gift for my daughter to use with her children. I had previously bought her the cards with questions for kids and they use it nightly at dinner time and love it. What a great idea this is.
This is such a beautiful set and is so fun to use with my kids! I used it today in homeschool to work on writing and grammar and my 10 year old loves it.
granddaughter loved it
These are so beautifully illustrated!
A wonderful way to spark creativity for all ages . Great for the car, bedtime, restaurants, waiting for appointments…any time!!
I love the damn really darling artwork I wish the cards had been a little larger
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!
