Challenge: Limited creativity, too little variety in ideas or difficulty making connections. Tip: Before the game starts, you can have a kind of “warm-up” or exploration phase. In a group, let the children collect all kinds of stories or sounds for a specific card, so that during the game they have a broader range of inspiration. You can also turn this into a mini-game: students vote for the person who told the most fun story for a given card. Everyone chooses a card from their own stack and tells what they think could go with that card (or sound). This gives the students inspiration for all the possibilities.
Challenge: Students have difficulty choosing. Tip: The storyteller can give an extra word, or you can start with a sound first, then a word, and finally a full story.
Challenge: Sometimes students take a long time to decide. Tip: You can introduce time pressure, for example with a song, a countdown clock, or an hourglass. When time is up, they must go to their chosen card.
