I have heard that one excellent technique for doing this is to "read" a picture book by asking the child what they think is happening, and allow them to come up with creative stories. I see Story Realms as a similar premise, but in this case their imagination is guided by the overarching story told by the story teller, and they have to come up with innovative solutions. What better way to get children to problem solve by thinking creatively and having fun at the same time?John Bastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354927137727595420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-28595951372429859322012-10-02T00:31:30.504-07:002012-10-02T00:31:30.504-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Bastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354927137727595420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-9945335908866870342012-10-01T10:07:58.543-07:002012-10-01T10:07:58.543-07:00How can a person only choose one reason to the bes...How can a person only choose one reason to the best when they are all equally awesome. I've posted comment on facebook and wrote up a 3 player session on BGG. I wish we had more time so I could get different sessions with different crowds before KS ends and to give a better chance for the ultimate goals to be achieved. One reason that was not mentioned (and probably the biggest reason I finally decided) was the support the designers Angela and Julian have provided. They have taken ever opportunity to answer questions/ concerns/ provide demonstrations and all were professionally handled. This helped put my mind at ease when I was on the fence because it's hard to get together with friends when we all work shift work so when we do get together, we do something exciting and entertaining. Just our intro session was a blast and my friends were willing to put the effort to get together again to play again. Looking forward to it's release.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17354953170075570524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-4343112373633245502012-10-01T06:15:59.065-07:002012-10-01T06:15:59.065-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17354953170075570524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-67519877313431156032012-10-01T05:51:12.800-07:002012-10-01T05:51:12.800-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17354953170075570524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549558516941774469.post-77813682161580362422012-09-30T23:47:29.923-07:002012-09-30T23:47:29.923-07:00My reasons for backing Story Realms include suppor...My reasons for backing Story Realms include supporting the dream of Angie and Julien, supporting the growth of games to play with the entire family, and having a game that I'll be able to play when I have kids of my own.<br /><br />I shared the kickstarter link to Story Realms on my blog, bitsofboardgames.blogspot.com with an article talking about the game.<br />That link went out on Twitter, @boardgamer89 https://twitter.com/boardgamer89/status/252336697583497216<br />Also on the blog's facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/bitsboardgamesmathguy6189https://www.blogger.com/profile/01825397912641019287noreply@blogger.com
