Week 7: Story Line

Hey everyone, it has been over a year, but the blog is ALIVE! So make sure to check back often and check out what we are up to at the Language Exchange Program at UC Irvine!

Team 1: the Japanese team of 6, spread out their collection of pictures and begin taking turns tying the pictures together with an interestingly silly story.
Last week was week 7, and we played a game where we split into two groups to tell a story by connecting random pictures that were given. Some pictures included a man riding a unicycle, someone walking a dog in their car, and a man hugging a giant fish!


The plot thickens on the other side with the Chinese team of 8, as the group sits around the table and develops an interesting story with all of the pictures laid out across the table.
Our groups shared the wacky stories to each other and then combined to do a group story. We each got a photo and “popcorned” around the circle to tell a new story using the picture we had.



The groups gather around the Chinese group's table and exchange stories. Followed by a super story that uses all of the pictures and a few improv ideas.
After a story about an alien cat, heroic dog, and crazy truck driver, we split up into small conversation groups. It was nice to interact with everyone in a group activity, instead of going into separate groups like usual. I hope to get to know all of you more!
