    How to play<\/p>\n

    Players, divided into teams, must invent short, meaningful micro-stories using an exact number of words<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 40 in the first round<\/li>\n
    • 30 in the second<\/li>\n
    • 20 in the third<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Before starting, each team draws a certain number of compulsory words from the bag (4, 3 or 2 depending on the round) that must be included in the story. In turn, each member says only<\/strong> one word<\/strong>, which the Writer<\/em> notes down on the sheet, without any discussion or prior agreement.<\/p>\n

      A Keeper<\/em> checks that the rules are followed. At the end of each round, the teacher awards points:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 1 for originality<\/li>\n
      • 1 for correct use of the compulsory words<\/li>\n
      • 2 for syntactic accuracy<\/li>\n
      • 3 for the exact number of words<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The team with the highest total score wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
