52 Weeks of Storytelling and Activity Prompts
The last few weeks have focused on everything activities and activity prompts. Below you'll find videos for writing about outside activities, your favorite activities, favorite sports, and your favorite trips. Don't forget you can catch up on the first 4 weeks of prompts on YouTube. If you would like to receive the videos and an outline of the prompts in your email you can grab that by filling in the form below. If you are a staff person or in charge of activities for groups/residents, there is a more in-depth version of the 52 weeks of Storytelling with implementation instruction videos for purchase here.
Working with someone else & Activity Prompts
Following this method of interviewing and storytelling with someone else allows you to build rapport and create a stable connection. This means that your Storyteller will be more likely to share harder, more emotional memories later. This relationship-building takes time and shouldn't be rushed whenever possible. If you are working with a grandparent, parent, or someone else you love, you may be able to skip some of these but I still encourage you to start with the favorites and activity prompts.
Journals
You didn’t think I would leave you without a map, did you? I’m using the 52 Ways to Write Your Story in a Year With Guided Prompts to guide the prompts every week. You can grab it as a printable PDF from Etsy or head over to Amazon and order a hot off-the-press-bound copy.
