Telephone — The “Love Story” Version
Another fun game to keep everyone involved, is the “Love Story” version of Telephone. You start off by writing the first line of a love story about the bride and groom (starting with how the couple meets) and then pass the pen and paper to the next person, who then adds another line. Keep passing the paper around til everyone has contributed.
