Word Circle

July 23, 2018 By Elise Witt

23 Jul

From the work of Rhiannon http://www.RhiannonMusic.com

WORD CIRCLE

PHASE ONE

Around the circle, one at a time, each person spew forth 3 words. Keep the circle moving, each person beginning immediately after the person before them. No planning, no editing. The words do not need to connect nor make sense.

Go around the circle numerous times, until the words are really flowing.

PHASE TWO

Same as Phase One, except this time you are telling story. Each person tells a story, that flows organically. It does not need to make sense and can travel from one universe to another. Finish in mid-sentence… The next person picks up the story line and takes it somewhere new and unknown, and so on around the circle.

Go around the circle numerous times, until the words are really flowing.

PHASE THREE

Same as Phase Two but this time sing the stories.
