Age: 9 to adult

Players: Whole Group

Time: 20–30 minutes

Skills: Improvisation, Role-Play

Divide everyone into groups of four or five. Ask each group to choose a fairy tale that they all know (or select one for them). Each person in the group chooses a major or minor character from that story. Next, they should decide on a problem faced by their character, such as the Ugly Duckling who can't make friends or the Wolf from The Three Little Pigs, who can't get enough to eat. They can also think about this in terms of an objective – what does their character want to achieve? Is it making friends, perhaps, or finding sausages?
