Word for Word Game

This game came from a woman named Peggy Kaye. I LOVE the games and ideas she has! We've had a lot of fun with them!

Word for Word Game
     
                You first choose a title of a story for your game.  It should describe a little about what the story will be about. An idea for a title would be, The Mad Scientist Strikes Again or Hunting for Dinosaurs.

                Once you decide on your title you are ready to begin! Both you and your child will write this story together.  So, how do you decide who will write what? DICE! lol! Mom, you roll the dice first.  If you roll a four, that means you write the first for words of the story.  Not three words or five words, FOUR! :) For example,
                 
                      This morning I went

                  Now, hand the die to your child and let them roll.  If they roll a one they are only allowed to write ONE word.  For example,

                      This morning I went FOR

                   Then you roll again.  Continue through the game to the end of the story.  Make sure you put the focus on the writing and the fun of the game, NOT spelling, handwriting, etc.  You don't want to kill the fun! :) (trust me, I made that mistake once. :S) Make sure you do not let you or your child write more than the number on the dice.... it can be tough when you have lots of ideas, but it adds to the fun and keeps everyone excited!!!

Have some writing fun!!! :)
