Table Topics Ideas: Round Robin Storytelling

For this idea, the Table Topics Master starts the Table Topics Session with a few opening lines of a story. It doesn't have a complex start, in fact it's be better to have a simple story opening.

If you are stumped for story openings, try to introduce a character and a goal that they are aiming for. For example, a simple banker who is tired of his normal job and is trying to become a successful singer.

Once the introduction is laid out, call on a speaker from the audience to continue the story from where it stopped. After the speaker adds to the story for about a minute or so, they can call on another person to continue the story and so on.

The challenge is to keep the story going, with each speaker taking up the story from where the previous speaker left off.

The Table Topics Master can end the story or appoint a speaker to end the story when time for the session runs out.

So if you're ready to try something new for Table Topics, try this out. Not only will you hear some crazy plot twists but you will also get loads of laughter.
