Create a Story

It’s fun to make up your own stories (in German and/or English). Story-telling can help pass the time on car journeys, or be a pleasant way to spend an afternoon lying on a picnic blanket, or create a rambling silly bed time story.

If you like, a bunch of random pictures can be used as inspiration for your story. Cut out the pictures below and put them into a little container. Close your eyes and pull a picture out of your container and use it to tell a little bit of the story; then pull another picture out and incorporate that into your story; and so on until your story is finished and you are ready to start another one.

As a family activity, you can each take turns pulling a picture out and adding a bit more to a story you create together.

You can download this here and print it, then cut out the pictures. (Thanks to a kind and lovely Pinterest user for posting the picture sheet.)
