One Word at a Time: Summer Edition is the perfect mix of ridiculous fun and meaningful connections. It’s part game, part conversation starter—and 100% guaranteed to get your students laughing, thinking, and bonding. Watch as they try to tell a story one word at a time—you never know where it’s going, but it’s always hilarious. Plus, the summer-themed prompts spark real conversations that help students open up and share. It’s silly, surprising, and seriously awesome.
As you move around the circle, each person adds just one word at a time, collaboratively building the story together. No one knows where it will go, and that’s what makes it hilarious! The story continues to grow until a leader decides to end the round or the group naturally wraps it up. It’s simple, spontaneous, and always unpredictable!
How to Play:
1. Sit everyone in a circle where they can see the screen.
2. Display the prompt.
3. Choose someone to start, then go around the circle with each person adding one word to the story.
4. Keep going until the story comes to a funny or natural end—or set a time/word limit if you want!
5. Start a new round with a new prompt and a new starter.
