Game: Let's Make A Story

11
votes

So this is a game where each person will write a sentence to add to the person's sentence before them, and eventually/ hopefully, we will end up with a very creative story.


Here are the rules:

~Only one sentence per post

~Each sentence needs to have a translation

~ You cannot post two times in a row

~Don't try to make a monster sentence as a substitute for 3 and 4 sentences that you want

~Be creative!!!!


The first person who posts gets to decide what the story will be about by writing an introductory sentence.


Tip: For the sentences, don't just consider what happens, but also what things look like; for example, if the person before you mentions a girl, you can say what color hair she has, what she likes to do, what she's wearing... (as long as it is one sentence)


Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!! cheese

Since nobody will let me use "zarpar," my favorite Spanish word of all time, in any other Spanish game I will use it here. grin (I just noticed this... the SD definition is different than the one i learned a few years back, which was "to sail a sailboat or any other ship with sails")

El hombre zarpa el barco en el fiordo, con los monos locos a la babor.

The man weighs anchor (or "sails," depending on definition) the ship in the fjord, with the crazy monkeys on the port side. ("port" here is being used in the nautical term)

Edit: since you can't see it well, I'm gonna bold the actual sentence.

As the tiger slept, a wave washed over him at the beach.

Como el tigre dormía, una ola arrolló sobre él en la playa.

Entonces un maremoto lo arrastró de vuelta sobre la playa y el tigre fue salvado, pero perdió su almuerzo el mono, quien se contentó mucho.

Then a tidal wave washed him back onto the beach and the tiger was saved, but he lost his lunch, the monkey, who became very happy.

you can also just say "se enojó." The meaning doesn't change but it's just shorter. :-) - BradyLabuda, Apr 1, 2012
