once upon a rainy day...





When the stacks and stacks of board games on hand just don't cut it anymore what's a stir crazy family to do? Well, we made our own. And we did a pretty good job if I don't say so myself.

It's a game of imagination & story telling.

First, we cut out pictures from various sticker books that we have on hand for our long plane flights east. From super heroes to princesses...animals and planets...dora and winnie the pooh.

Next, I found backdrops in the same sticker books. A jungle, solar system, city buildings & a pirate ship.

The premise of the game is to arrange the stickers on your backdrop and then make up a story to describe the situation. We decided that you could pick four of your own pictures and then the other person can add two more. Clearly the goal is to be wacky, combining unlikely characters and creating a far-fetched tale. Unfortunately, Gage is still working to get past the obvious superhero/star wars stories and Zuzu just rambles...but nevertheless, it's still fun!
